A Mason-Dixon poll found Republicans Byron Donalds and Ashley Moody leading their Florida races, including among Hispanic voters. The survey reports a snapshot of the contests ahead of the November election.
The poll put Donalds ahead of Democrat David Jolly 48% to 41% in the governor’s race and Moody ahead of Democrat Angie Nixon 50% to 40% in the Senate race. Among Hispanic voters, Donalds led Jolly 48% to 43%, while Moody led Nixon 47% to 40%. The article also reports leads and voter preferences across other demographic groups.
Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy conducted the survey by live telephone interviews with 625 likely Florida voters from September 28 through October 1. The statewide margin of error was plus or minus four percentage points; the firm cautioned that it was larger for smaller groups.
