[RandySF]

ORLANDO, Fla. — An exclusive Spectrum News Decision 2018 gubernatorial poll shows if Florida’s general election were held today, it would be too close to call.

Exclusive poll shows gubernatorial race would be close call

Poll shows Gillum has 4-point lead in race statewide
Results show DeSantis lacking in independent support
Democrat Andrew Gillum and Republican Ron DeSantis are facing off to replace term-limited Gov. Rick Scott.

Gillum, who picked primary challenger Chris King as his lieutenant governor running mate, is hoping to become the state’s first Democratic governor in more than 20 years.

Ron DeSantis, who chose State Rep. Jeanette Nunez as his lieutenant governor running mate, beat Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam in the GOP primary by a large margin.

DeSantis, even with the backing of President Donald Trump, is lagging in independent support, according to the exclusive Spectrum News Decision 2018 poll released Tuesday.

Spectrum News commissioned SurveyUSA to carry out an online survey that includes 634 likely voters, which produced results with a credibility interval of +/- 5.3%.

Results show Andrew Gillum with just a 4 point lead in the race statewide:

Andrew Gillum: 47 percent
Ron DeSantis: 43 percent
Undecided: 9 percent

1. Love the publicity he's getting, although any poll with a MOE greater than 5 is a bit dubious to me.

8. Small sample...slightly over 600 people

Not sure why they did it that way

Gillum needs a lead because the PAC money is going to show up attacking the Tallahassee FBI stuff. We'll be wall to wall with that topic here in Florida during October. That's simply reality. Gillum needs an effective response theme.

2. this is good news for Nelson too ... dem enthusiasm will go long ways

7. Please Please please convince every Dem and left-leaning independent vote.

We must must must must GOTV for Gillum!!!

It is critical that Gillum wins because he can help decide redistrictjng in 2020.

The Republicans are starving our schools. There is a documented teacher shortage due to miserable conditions and low pay.

We have an environmental crisis in the Everglades that the GOP won’t fix!

Desantis is trying to kill any efforts to help with healthcare.

What more can I say? If you have a heart you’ll GOTV and vote for Gillum/King!!
