Poll: Gillum leads DeSantis by 6 points in Florida governor race
By Brett Samuels - 09/19/18 09:03 AM EDT

Democrat Andrew Gillum holds a six-point lead over Ron DeSantis (R) in the hotly contested gubernatorial campaign in Florida, according to a new poll.

The Reuters/Ipsos/UVA Center for Politics poll found that 50 percent of voters surveyed support Gillum, compared to 44 percent who back DeSantis.

The remaining percentage of voters said they support a different candidate or did not indicate support for any candidate.

Gillum and DeSantis are running to replace outgoing Gov. Rick Scott (R), who is running for U.S. Senate. The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, rates the gubernatorial contest a “toss up.”

The Reuters poll shows Gillum with a slightly larger cushion than most other polls have shown thus far.

I'm really surprised that Gillum is doing so well, and it's looking like Nelson ahead over Scott as well.  It looks like we may very well see FL turn blue.  Not good.
