New polling shows Donalds holds an overwhelming lead over two other potential Republican opponents.
A new poll conducted by Ryan Tyson for The American Promise shows Byron Donalds with an overwhelming lead in the Republican primary for Florida Governor. Donalds leads potential opponents by wide margins in both the initial and informed ballots. On the initial ballot, Donalds leads both potential Republican candidates Jay Collins and Paul Renner 40% / 2% / 2%. Once voters find out that Donalds is President Trump’s choice to be Florida’s next governor, Donalds’ lead increases to 55 points: 57% Donalds / 2% Collins / 1% Renner.
Donalds’ name ID has also ticked up to 52%, a 14-point uptick, and his favorability has climbed up 11%.
More on the poll’s findings from Florida Politics:
“Overall, Donalds’ net favorability climbed from +32% in January to +43% this month.
“This all spells bad news for others in the race, according to political strategist Ryan
Tyson, who noted that Collins and Renner both have qualified name IDs below 15%, while also having less campaign cash to spend on popularizing themselves.
“For Donalds to do this without a statewide media buy is a resounding accomplishment,” Tyson said. “Despite this sizable lead, we see signs that Donalds still has more room to grow.”
“The data is consistent and clear. President Trump’s endorsement is the gold standard. No matter the field, Byron Donalds will be Florida’s next governor because he is THE proven conservative fighter endorsed by President Trump.” -Ryan Smith, Chief Strategist for the Byron Donalds for Governor Campaign
