| A new poll from the Associated Industries of Florida shows Byron Donalds holding a commanding lead in the Republican Primary for Governor, capturing 54% support in a four-way field — 46 points ahead of his nearest competitor. Donalds’ support is broad geographically. He posts 71% support in Fort Myers, 69% in West Palm Beach, 54% in Orlando, 53% in the Panhandle and 51% in Tampa. He also draws 55% support among white Republicans and 54% among Hispanic Republicans. Among seniors — typically the highest-propensity Primary voters — he reaches 60%. Donalds has raised more than $81 million through his campaign and the Friends of Byron Donalds PAC from more than 35,000 donors. The Primary is Aug. 18. “Florida Republicans are rallying around Trump-endorsed Byron Donalds and his plan to make Florida more affordable,” said Ryan Smith, Chief Strategist for the Byron Donalds for Governor Campaign. “He’s the common sense conservative who will hand failed liberal lobbyists and politicians David Jolly and Gwen Graham yet another defeat.” Read more about the poll here. |
