Poll: Donna Deegan (D), Daniel Davis (R) headed to runoff in Jacksonville mayoral race
Another public poll of the Jacksonville mayoral race suggests the March election won’t decide the winner.
The latest survey from the University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Lab shows that while Democrat Donna Deegan is on track to be the leading candidate in the First Election March 21, she will fall short of the 50.01% needed to win outright.
Deegan was the choice of 37% of those polled, with Republican Daniel Davis in second place with 20%. No other candidate was in double digits.
Republican City Council member Al Ferraro drew 8% support, Democrat Audrey Gibson pulled 7%, and Republican City Council member LeAnna Gutierrez Cumber drew just 5% backing. No-party candidate Omega Allen and Republican Frank Keasler each drew 1% support, while 22% of respondents were still undecided.
Deegan was the choice of 69% of Democrats and 36% of no-party voters, but just 7% of Republicans, suggesting that party identification is starting to play in more heavily now that the election is near. Davis commanded the support of 37% of Republicans, well ahead of Ferraro and Cumber, who drew 15% and 8% support, respectively.
