Lotta good news (and a little bad) for the GOP in this multi-state survey from CBS and YouGov but none better than the Florida gubernatorial numbers. Probably no single outcome next month will have more consequences for the 2020 election than who ends up in charge of Florida. A poll taken a few days ago had Ron DeSantis ahead for the first time in two months, which seemed suspicious. Was that really the start of a trend towards Republicans or was it just an outlier? Gillum had led in every one of the 18 other polls taken since September 1.

But maybe it is the start of a trend. The last four surveys of Florida have gone like this: DeSantis +3, Gillum +1, Gillum +5, and now Gillum +1 from CBS/YouGov. There’s every reason to believe the race is tightening in the home stretch even if DeSantis hasn’t yet grabbed the lead.

Agreed. That’s the message badly needed. They need to define him. Not just as a socialist and corrupt. What’s it MEAN to each Florida citizen. Compare current economic growth and employment and talk about the jobs that would go. Companies who would not move here. Wages that would flatten.
