I saw an informal poll on the Zip.app, and the question was:
“For age 20 and older only: Are you a FORMER Democrat who has switched parties or left the Democrat party since the 2016 election?”
The question was asked in several different categories. A category is a self-selected category that the app user chooses to participate in those questions.
Categories & Results:
Politics: 35% YES
Trending News: 33% YES
Entertainment: 24% YES
Family & Parenting: 33% YES
That does work both ways.
DeSantis had an easy race to win. He tripped out of the gate....and, his dissing POTUS, about the Puerto Rican death count, was NOT a smart move.
Praying he wins.
Gollum will be a death blow to Floridians......but they’re becoming Latin American as they go it seems.
If they elect him, merely a matter of time before the state becomes a Little Venezuela.
Politics Is Destiny.
He’s just so bad for Floridians....and also for this nation.....I find it hard to believe people can be so stupid with his history and positions. He’s not at all a fit for the state.
I don’t think the midterms would be going our way without Trump.
People are voting GOP because of him not the other way around.
Tomorrow we’ll know whether Trump has coattails.
Agree.
DeSantis’ campaign has been a weak milk toast affair that belongs at Parents Day in elementary school not on the campaign trail. He has wasted so much opportunity to show just what a charlatan Gillum is and how he will destroy Florida if given the chance.
Especially since the next governor will be able to appoint 3 judges to the state supreme court, then direct the redistricting that begins in 2020/2021 time frame.
Many conservatives say, well Gillum won’t get much accomplished because the Repubs. will retain the state legislature. They forget what happened in Pennsylvania, the republicans control the state legislature, yet by using the courts the democrat governor was able to have the districts, drawn up by the republicans, thrown out.
Same thing could happen if Gillum gets elected and that isn’t even the worst he’ll do like increasing corporate taxes by 40% and try to get a state income tax.
Independents will break for the GOP!
If they have no lead in the generic ballot, they won’t pick up any GOP seats!
They need to match 2016, that is where our turnout is at.
Desantis wins easily, I think Gillum is going to lose a lot of White Democrat voters.
The exit poll projection will give us an idea of whether turnout is R+ or D+.
This is one of those elections where every vote really matters.
You aren’t going to have that many Republicans vote Democrat.
RINOs and Never Trumpers will likely vote Democrat.
The polling of most likely voters had independent women virtue signaling and saying they will vote for Gillum.
Granted it is polling and many may virtue signal to get the pollsters off the phone, so I hope you are correct independents on election day do vote for DeSantis.
Virtue signaling women and race based voters are the groups democrats for Gillum are targeting.
Also called the Bradley Effect.
No one wants to be accused of being racist so some voters lie to pollsters and say they’ll vote for Gollum and then do the opposite in the voting booth.
Named for the black California Democrat who was leading in the polls only to beaten in an upset by the Republican Deukmejian.
I think it means that historically the Donkeys in FL are way ahead of the Elephants in early voting. This year, however, they’re barely ahead (hence, off their usual pace).
Don’t assume Republican voters are voting Republican.
As I said, I believe a lot of White Democrats are not going to vote for a socialist when their State is doing so well.
EV is down in a number of Democrat strongholds in Fl. If Nelson loses, I don’t see Gillum winning. Independents tend to be more conservative.
