Republican Randy Fine holds the edge ahead of a Special Election for Congress. Republican Randy Fine holds the edge ahead of a Special Election for Congress. But his lead over Democrat Josh Weil falls within the poll’s margin of error despite the heavy GOP tilt of Florida’s 6th Congressional District.
That’s according to a survey done for Florida Politics by St. Pete Polls ahead of the Tuesday Special Election to succeed former U.S. Rep. Mike Waltz.
The results show Fine winning just over 48% of the vote, while Weil received just over 44%.
The poll of 403 likely voters in CD 6 was conducted on March 22. Pollsters report a 4.9% margin of error, greater than Fine’s lead.
And among those polled who said they already voted, more than half supported the Democrat. Weil leads 51% to 43% among those whose decision has already been made via a mail-in ballot or in-person early voting. According to the survey, about 38% of likely voters have already cast their ballots in the race.
That means Fine will have to make up the difference with those who vote between now and the close of polls on Tuesday at 7 p.m. if he intends to move into Congress. He definitely hopes for that, having already submitted an irrevocable resignation letter from the Florida Senate to run.
But Weil has massively outraised Fine. As of reports on fundraising through March 12, Weil had $1.3 million in cash on hand for the race’s final stretch, while Fine had just $93,000.
The democRATs have gone ahead in early voting and in fundraising. This is all part of trying to win the House and impeach Trump. Conservative voters need to get out, Republicans don’t have the Get-out-the-vote effort. April 1 is election day. Get er Done!
Exactly!!?
Daytona Beach area. VOTE!
District went R 60-40 in 2020 when dems went all out.
Breaking news - Trump just withdrew Elise Stefanik’s nomination for UN ambassador, saying it’s more important to keep her in the House. Thank heavens! As we are seeing in these Florida races, there are no guarantees in special elections, even in “safe” R districts. It was dumb for Trump to nominate House members for cabinet positions when the House majority was already slim.
Wisconsin too and we lost the PA special election.
This.
Dems going all out. 'Rat spending 20:1 to Republicans.

Pennsylvania GOP gets egg on its face in special election
Wisconsin Supreme Court election has leftists promising redistricting to bring 2 new 'Rat house seats. This is all a plan to Impeach Trump
And
Being a red district what is the Donk running on? Mee hate Trump?
The Donks are way ahead in early voting. If you think all votes are legal then you will lose.
Maybe if the house actually did something instead of leaving Trump alone in the fight they’d have more enthusiasm
You realize it is Florida, not Pennsylvania. Desantisland.
403? Yeah, that’s reliable.
Ok Mr. President
Always thought it was a stupid idea to appoint some of these GOP representatives to a government job when you have such a tiny majority in the House.
Dont forget the left wing news always do this. Game plan to hopefully tamper down Republican turnout.
If I get only one more conservative to vote in Fl District 6 then my post was successful.
👍
ho is “Florida Politics”? And where is DeSantis BTW?
