Another poll shows Ron DeSantis with a double-digit lead over Charlie Crist

Another pollster has Gov. Ron DeSantis up by double digits on Democrat Charlie Crist. But Victory Insights found Florida Republicans split on whether he or Donald Trump should be the GOP nominee for President.

The polling outfit, which has an office in Naples, found 54% of likely Florida voters plan to vote for DeSantis’ re-election. More than 41% plan to support Crist, the Democratic nominee and former Republican Governor. That leaves close to 5% of voters undecided but that’s not enough to offer Crist a chance even if all were to swing his way.

The lead importantly puts DeSantis’ lead outside the poll’s 4.8-percentage-point margin of error, and nearly puts that much distance between the incumbent and the 50% mark ensuring victory.

That’s consistent with other recent polling, which as the Nov. 8 General Election drew closer showed DeSantis’ lead in the race widening. The polling firm ran simulations, and the survey predicts the Republican will ultimately win by nearly 13-point margin once all votes are counted.
