A Mason-Dixon poll puts Ashley Moody ahead of Angie Nixon, 50% to 40%, in Florida’s U.S. Senate race, with less than a month before the election. The survey also found voters divided over the effect of a candidate identifying as a Democratic Socialist.
An NBC6/Telemundo Station Group poll found Republican Ashley Moody leading Democrat Angie Nixon 50% to 40%; independent Neil Gillespie received 2%, while 8% were undecided. Support varied by party, gender, race, age and region, and independents favored Nixon over Moody, 41% to 35%.
The poll also found that 52% of respondents said being a self-described Democratic Socialist would make them less likely to vote for a candidate, while 8% said it would make them more likely and 35% said it would have no effect. The survey questioned 625 likely voters by telephone from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1, with a margin of error of no more than four percentage points.
