A Florida poll found Republican Byron Donalds leading Democrat David Jolly in the governor’s race and Republican Sen. Ashley Moody leading challenger Angie Nixon in the Senate race. It also showed mixed views among Hispanic voters and divided opinions on immigration enforcement and a property-tax measure.
The NBC South Florida/Telemundo Station Group poll put Donalds ahead of Jolly by 48% to 41%, and Moody ahead of Nixon by 50% to 40%. Among Hispanic voters, Donalds led 48% to 43% and Moody led 47% to 40%. The survey also found that Trump’s job approval was split among Florida likely voters, with 48% approving and 48% disapproving.
Inflation and the cost of living were the most frequently named issue likely to influence voters. The article reports that views on cooperation between state and local officials and federal immigration authorities differed sharply by party. It also describes support for a proposed property-tax exemption measure, which 55% of surveyed voters backed. The overall poll surveyed 625 likely voters and had a margin of error of four percentage points; a separate survey of 400 Hispanic voters had a five-point margin of error.
