TALLAHASSEE, FL — With less than a week to go before the November election, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum has a 2.49-point lead over former Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis in the race to become Florida's next governor and incumbent Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson enjoys a 2.3-point lead over Republican Gov. Rick Scott in the race for U.S. Senate.

Statistics released by Florida election officials on Thursday show that Republicans who voted by mail outnumber Democrats by 66,710 votes, while Democrats led Republicans in early voting by 3,173 votes.

Nothing about Republican turnout, Hillary saying blacks all look alike, etc...They just flood the airwaves and internet with liberal diarrhea every day.

What’s with this “2.49-point lead” nonsense? Pollsters are lucky if their polls are accurate to within 10 points of the actual outcome. Implying that they can gauge public sentiment to one one-hundredth of one percent is just hysterically ridiculous.

I have no idea. It can't possibly be actual voting returns as no one is releasing that data (I don't even think that is available internally yet). Is that polling data? If so it would be really helpful to actually indicate that, as they are basically conveying Gillum and Nelson are winning in the actual vote.

An accidental oversight I'm sure.

There is a Red Tide coming, not a Blue Wave.

The number of ballots received do not indicate the actual vote cast. My guess is there are more Democrat ballots returned that have crossover party votes for a Republican than the opposite. I have many Democrat friends who have stated that they have had it with the progressive agenda and vitriolic rhetoric of the Dems and they are crossing over party lines.

There is no reason to vote FOR a Democrat, only against. So many of the Democrat return ballots will be cast for a Republican.

A Red Tide.

I just googled “2016 Hillary Clinton early voting”. Lots of articles about how the early voting numbers are a good sign for Hillary...LOL .....and she still lost

Yet republicans are even doing better it seems this time

They did. Scott led a big procession from church.

But what are you griping about? We LEAD by 63,000 (17,000 in 2016 on same date).

“We LEAD by 63,000...”

Great news!

Then again, I already knew this, because I log on to your Twitter page MANY times per day.

No no griping just curious! In other posts trying to fire up our base to GOTV! That is all.🙂

Bear in mind also that votes cast in the primary for a Republican candidates for governor outnumbered democratic votes by over 100,00.

I always cringe when I see “red tide” used in this way. Wouldn’t it be better not to associate Republican victories with something that caused a lot of financial, recreational, and health damage to large numbers of Floridians? The Dems here have already worked hard to tie the lengthy red tide outbreak to Rick Scott in order to win more votes.

I hope your post in general is right though!

AND don’t just assume all the Dems are voting for Dems. A number have flipped. #WalkAway.

[Huskrrrr]

Out of his pocket, no doubt. :0)

They haven’t figured out the propaganda isn’t working anymore.
The Jedi mind tricks aren’t working and it’s starting to piss everyone off .
Why don’t you do your job and report the news, not what your handlers are feeding you.
Hillary is going to win in a landslide
