FL — StPetepolls: DeSantis +6

[2016]

This poll has a pretty strong D bias too

Gop will do well in flarda in 2022

Sample is D 37/I 25/R 38

It's a R+1 Sample. No wonder they get those Results.

[2016]

I'm still going to say the R ticket wins by 7-8.

I'm a Neutral 304 Map Scenario FL is plus 3, Biden is near 50/45, Cook has FL an R plus 3 state

2022 won't be neutral. Show us some evidence it will be neutral.

Safe Republican

Nah, I'd say likely. A lot will depend on Omicron Variant but given the Symtoms are mild and it isn't as severe as Delta it probably won't change too much.

FL is a lost cause. The Dem candidate is so DOA if I lived in FL I would vote DeSantis just to troll and say I voted for the winning candidate.

My move is to vote in the Democrat Primaries so I can be part of the part of the process in selecting the Democrat nominee most in line with my core values, or at the very least expressing some interesting or revolutionary ideas. 

At the end of the day, people are going to vote for DeSantis for the reasons you expressed.  People like to invest in a winning candidate, and most don't believe Democrats have a chance in FL cause they don't.

The only reason Democrats are doing somewhat better than expected in these polls is due to the fact that they intend to run a Republican that switched to Independent and then Democrat.  Crist is mainly known as a power hungry turncoat devoid of any real morals, principles or policy interests other than representing corporate interests disguised behind the veil of Democrat and liberal anti-corporatist dogma, whether or not the dogma is just, moral or correct.  It's just optics. 

Crist is the easiest Candidate to beat for us for the reasons you just outlined here, that he is a Turncoast.
The most important Election in FL was 2018. Why? The new Governor could appoint 3 State Supreme Court Justices. DeSantis has made the FL SC permanently Conservative.
Even if by some miracle Democrats win the Governor Races Republicans would still have the State Legislature & FL SC meaning Crist wouldn't get anything done and everything he does would be sued in Court.

Excellent post.  Christ only had a chance in 2018 cause it was a strongly D cycle where the Republicans put up a very weak candidate, Rick Scott, who had just as much corporate support as Christ that came from the pharmaceutical and medical insurance industries.  That election was really about which special interest group had the most amount of ammunition, but the fact that nobody could trust Benedict Christ made a difference.  There's no point to Christ gubernatorial victory.  Everywhere that isn't a D supermajority in Florida is a F-ing amazing place to live, start a career, and build a family.     

I'm working on 2022 campaign groundwork in my area.  We've registered a lot of lean right Independents that hate Joe Biden and many are jokingly referred to as political refugees from Northern D states.  We then creeped onto college campuses cause we figured more right-leaners would attend classes as opposed to D-leaners that would prefer to take classes online.   We hit the jackpot at Nova Southeastern and Broward Community College.  We didn't even promote the F Joe Biden chants.  It just happened organically.    Zero push back from Democrats.  Not even an evil eye.   The number one issue among these hungry, student debtors that mostly commute to school was the high price of food, gas, and housing.  For some reason, these kids believe they're F-ed after college.  You'll hear a similar story from my friend working with the Democrat Party.  That nicely packaged bundle of young liberal students for Democrats to collect is just not available anymore.  I just wonder if it's the same in other states like MN, NC, PA, WI, and MI?

I don't blame them. Manchin has to stop this BBB Crap. We have to deal with Inflation and not these liberal, social gimmicks.
