Byron Donalds Gains Key Lead in Florida Governor Race After Trump Endorsement

Internal polling shows Congressman Donalds significantly ahead of Casey DeSantis when GOP voters are informed of Trump's backing.

Byron Donalds leads Casey DeSantis 34% to 30% in a hypothetical Florida GOP gubernatorial primary, according to a recent poll by Fabrizio Lee & Associates.
When voters were informed of Donald Trump's endorsement of Donalds, his lead surged to 45% compared to DeSantis' 23%.
Casey DeSantis, Florida's First Lady, benefits from high name recognition but trails Donalds when endorsements from Trump and Ron DeSantis are considered.
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson and other potential GOP candidates remain far behind in the polling, with nearly 30% of voters still undecided.
Donalds has officially announced his candidacy, with Trump hosting a high-profile fundraiser in May, further solidifying his campaign momentum.
