Not surprised by this as long as DeSantis has Rubio on the ballot he isn't losing

[AncestralDemocrat.]

Likely R, closer to Safe than lean.

Put money towards Texas now!!!!! Do not try for Florida!

[Sir Mohamed]

FL is, and will always be, the worst state in the nation.

[AncestralDemocrat.]

Put money towards Texas now!!!!! Do not try for Florida!

Abbott has +18 approval.. so that's a long shot as well.

..

Beto said he isn't.running for Gov, sorry

[Holmes]

Makes sense. Crist has two things going against him. Florida is a sh**t state, and he is a sh**t candidate.

I see what you did there. In all seriousness, Likely R, closer to Safe than Lean.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Why do users don't realize that the reason why FL isn't a D state due to fact that it has a Cuban Embargo on it that is favorable to Rs, and Rubio, it's not Cali or AZ or NM

Where there arent many Mexicans and Native Americans, it's is purely a Cuban state that is against Castro in Cuba

[NewYorkExpress]

Interesting that Fried is doing slightly better than Crist, and that Mason/Dixon didn't bother to poll Murphy/Demings.

[Suburbia]

Lean R

Crist should not run for governor in 2022, he would lose

He should stay in the House

[Frenchrepublican]

Really good numbers for DeSantis, if these numbers are close to the reality I could see Miami Dade flipping.

[2016]

Really good numbers for DeSantis, if these numbers are close to the reality I could see Miami Dade flipping.

The Democrats are IN for a rude awakening come 2022 not just in FL but also elsewhere I think.

I can't wait to see the US Economy plunging after Biden shut everything down. New Jobs Numbers Friday.

[Meatball Ron]

I can't wait to see the US Economy plunging after Biden shut everything down.

So you're saying you'd rather the country fail / people suffer than see your political adversary succeed? How patriotic!

[KaiserDave]

This should surprise nobody.

[TodayJunior]

Unless Ronnie D is cracking 40-42% in Orange Co. and winning back formerly GOP counties of Seminole and Duval, this race will be less than a 5% win. I'd bet on it.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Dems need to focus on NC, WI, PA, NH, GA, and NV Senate races, they don't need to be bogged down in an unwinnable Senate race with Rubio. We will deal with DeSantis should he run for Prez.

[President Johnson]

As expected. Florida doesn't deserve Crist.

I think Democrats will win the Texas governorship before this one. Lawton Chiles' 1994 reelection will remain the last Democratic victory to at least 2030.

[MT Treasurer]

Wait, how is DeSantis leading by double digits before he’s aired his SOCIALISM! attacks and when Emperor of and uniquely good fit for FL Donald J. Trump hasn’t even rallied low-prop Trumpists for him yet?

Those are the only two things deciding FL elections, after all!

Aside from the fact that it is despicable to wish for an economic downturn for political reasons, most economic forecasts are showing huge growth this year and next.

[WD]

No surprise here. Safe R.

my
He has Rubio up this time not Rick Scott that's why Trump beat Hillary in FL, Rubio after running for Prez decided to return to Senate.

But, DeSantis should he run for Prez have to win Rust belt not FL and he does poorly with AA that's why he almost lost to Gilliam

That's fascinating.  I was assured by many very serious people*tm* that DeSantis's COVID response was among the worst in the nation.  Curious.

Rubio wasn't even mentioned in the poll, and that would explain neither his approvals nor Trump's 2020 victory anyway.
