Here's the first post-primary poll of Florida Governor race
Source: Florida Politics
Andrew Gillum is breaking ahead of Ron DeSantis in the governors race, fueled by the early preference of Floridas independent voters, according to the first publicly-released poll of the general election campaign season.
A new poll produced by Public Policy Polling gives Gillum, the progressive Tallahassee mayor who rocked the Democratic Party on Tuesday, 48 percent, and DeSantis, the conservative Republican nominee running with President Donald Trump, 43 percent, in the opening days of the Nov. 6 election campaign.
A remarkably low percentage of voters, just 9 percent, told PPP pollsters that they were unsure, an early indication of how clear the differences already are, and likely will continue to be, between the two major gubernatorial candidates.
The poll, taken Wednesday and Thursday, shows Gillum starting with a commanding lead among independent voters. Party faithful are lining up pretty equally behind their nominees, and consequently Gillums early advantage appears built entirely from independent voters chosing him.

(6,377 posts)I will say though, Gillum winning won't surprise me in the least. Of course the bases will both side with their respective parties, but after nearly two decades of one-party rule, I imagine a lot of independents want something different and will move toward Gillum.
