U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody leads Democrat Alex Vindman in Florida’s U.S. Senate race, according to a new poll released by the Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) Center for Political Strategy.
The survey found Moody, the AIF-endorsed candidate, with 47% support among likely general election voters, compared with 40% for Vindman. Fourteen percent of respondents were undecided.
The poll also found Moody’s support to be firmer than Vindman’s. While Vindman drew support from 40% of respondents overall, 29% said they were “definitely” voting for him. By comparison, 35% of voters said they were definitely backing Moody.
AIF said Moody leads in a majority of Florida media markets. Her largest advantage came in Fort Myers, where she led by 41 points. She also posted leads of 22 points in Jacksonville, 19 points in the Panhandle, and 5 points each in Tampa and Orlando. Vindman led by 8 points in the Miami media market, though that region also had the highest share of undecided voters at 21%.
The poll showed Moody ahead across several demographic groups. Among white voters, she led 52% to 37%. Among Hispanic voters, she led 48% to 38%. Moody also held a 9-point lead among men, 49% to 40%, and a 5-point lead among women, 45% to 40%. Women registered a higher undecided rate than men, 16% to 11%.
The poll surveyed 800 likely 2026 general election voters in Florida from June 3 through June 7. It was conducted by McLaughlin & Associates and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Hopefully this trend continues to grow and he is soundly trounced
Why would anyone vote for a foreign spy that spied on Trump
Oh! Say can you see!............................
I despise him....and his twin brother who had an office right next to Alex's.
> Why would anyone vote for a foreign spy that spied on Trump <
Vindman has a D after his name.
It’s a magical letter, I tell ya.
What is it with these foreign born people running for political office here? You would almost think it was part of some evil plot.
If the POTUS and VPOTUS cannot be foreign born, then Congress should be the same. I can see why the founders excluded the Congress back when the country was new, but now it’s a matter of survival. We need a Constitutional Amendment to that effect........
I would support a constitutional amendment that included consumption of a bacon cheeseburger as a requisite of the swearing in ceremony.
This is another test of whether the political machine that Ron DeSantis put in place has staying power. I’m betting it does. This is also another opportunity to comment on what an amazing job Ron DeSantis did in Florida. I will never tire of singing his praises. He took a 50/50 state when he was elected and turned it into a Republican juggernaut. It has solid Republican policies. Republicans dominate its politics. Its no longer purple. Its bright Red to the point where formerly Dem counties are voting Republican or at least in play. DeSantis could do this for the country if he had a national office. It seems like the party has moved on to Vance and Rubio. And DeSantis shot himself in the foot with a lackluster campaign against Trump. But I still hope for a DeSantis presidency. I think it would be a policy and political powerhouse.
Are you telling me that the dumbass Vindman twins are still trying to get rich in America. I thought they went home to Russia.
Is this the twin Vindman some call “Flounder”? I can’t keep them straight.
The other brother is a Congressman from Virginia................
This is the one that testified (lied) before Congress in his Army dress uniform...............
They’re Ukrainian... Zelenskyy bros...
Because #TDS.
Vindman should be at Leavenworth.
Oh, okay. I thought for sure they were born way before 1991 when the USSR dissolved. To me, the USSR will always be RUSSIA.
We haven’t even had the primary yet. What makes people think Vindman is going to be the candidate? He’s an idiot.
Florida is solid red - but not red in the communist sense.
My hope is the democrats will spend a gillion dollars in Florida instead of spending it in a swing state.
