It's the first time Crist has gained the lead over the incumbent Republican.

..................................

The results come as DeSantis continues to face criticism for his COVID-19 response amid a major surge in cases and hospitalizations that is making Florida the epicenter of the pandemic.

While his lead is barely within the poll’s 1.6% margin of error, 45% of respondents indicated they’d vote for Crist, a Democrat who formerly served as Governor as a Republican, while just 44% said they’d cast a ballot for DeSantis. Another 11% are still undecided.

.......................

A previous St. Pete Polls survey taken in late May found Crist in much weaker position. Asked about Crist’s chances of beating DeSantis at the time, about 30% of voters gave the Congressman better than even odds to unseat the Republican incumbent. Another 38% gave him a 50/50 chance of winning, while 27% saw only a small chance of victory for Crist.

The poll also confirms previous ones showing Crist likely has a better shot at unseating the Republican Governor than his Democratic opposition, Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried...........................

10. Anyway you care to designate him, the murderous intent is the same.

4. I'd be happy to support Crist

But Nikki Fried is doing the real work here.

5. Is there, at long last, a limit to the nonsense voters will put up with?

We all know how Republican candidates and office holders have bet on that proposition. But will voters change their minds about their loyalty to the Republican brand when their friends and relatives are suffering and dying as a direct result of those policies? This is what it took to get some people off the schneid.

7. There are more registered Dems than Repukes in Fl

This should not be an impossible task

9. It shouldn't be ...

but it is when it's the Republicans are "counting" the votes ..

[lark]

11. Yeah but that figures are highly suspect.

I knows tons of older folks who registered as Democrats and have only/vast majority voted repug for past 30+ years.
