Latest Florida Polling Makes Difficult Reading For GOP

US

The latest presidential and gubernatorial opinion polling from the key swing state of Florida makes difficult reading for the Republican party, with the Democrats leading in a series of hypothetical match-ups. Both former President Donald Trump and incumbent Governor Ron DeSantis trail Biden in presidential election polling, while DeSantis trails two potential Democratic challengers (former Republican governor and sitting Democratic congressman Charlie Crist and Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried) in polling for next year's gubernatorial race. The one bright spot for the GOP is that US Senator Marco Rubio holds a 10% lead over potential challenger Val Demings in the race for the Florida US Senate seat up for grabs.
