Florida Governor: Gillum (D) 48%, DeSantis (R) 42%

Guess sucking up to Trump isn't a viable strategy in some states

it's only 6%... smh

Well, DeSantis is quite the virulent racist. That's only going to get you so far in the polls.
---

Florida CEmen: You heard the man, the race is over.

Registered Dems: Don't bother going out to vote. You're just wasting your time. You already won.
---

That's definitely encouraging.

And this is the Rasmussen one, too, which always favors Republicans. Good to see.

Pretty great considering how red Florida usually is in state races and how left leaning Gillum is

And here's Caution to shamelessly shill for said virulently racist politician.

Spoken like a true Republican

Cant win on your own merits so you have to try to depress turnout

I'm just pointing out that's the only thing parading these polls actually does.

You give people the idea that the election is already done and over with, and get a lower turnout. I can't believe after Hillary nobody figured this out.

Polls were pretty accurate on election day. Polls gave Clinton anywhere from a 2%-3% lead over Trump, which is what happened

Unfortunately in governor races, the GOP doesn't have the electoral college to save them, lol

Remember that Rasmussen has a heavy Republican bias, so these numbers are likely being overly favorable to DeSantis.
