Florida Midterm Polls Show GOP Leads in Governor and Senate, but Democratic Gains in Broward and Hispanic Vote

A new NBC/Telemundo poll shows Republican Byron Donalds leading Democrat David Jolly by 7 points in the Florida governor’s race, while Ashley Moody leads Angie Nixon by 10 points in the Senate race. However, Democratic momentum is evident in Broward County, where Jolly leads by 26 points, and among Hispanic voters, who are shifting away from President Trump. Forecasters have recently downgraded the governor’s race to 'lean Republican' due to these shifts, though Republicans maintain a financial advantage statewide.

Florida’s 2026 Midterms: Polls Show Tight Races Despite GOP Structural Advantages

Florida’s 2026 midterm races for governor and U.S. Senate are tightening, with polls showing competitive margins despite significant Republican structural advantages. While GOP candidates Byron Donalds and Ashley Moody hold financial and registration leads, Democratic opponents David Jolly and Angie Nixon are gaining ground due to voter concerns over affordability, immigration, and data centers. Polls vary widely, with some showing double-digit GOP leads and others indicating near-ties, highlighting uncertainty in a state that has not elected a Democratic governor since 1994.

Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon rejects DSA attack, focuses on policy

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon responded to Republican criticism of her Democratic Socialists of America membership by stating the attack is not about the organization itself but rather a tactic to distract from policy issues. She emphasized her focus on healthcare, housing, and childcare. Nixon is challenging Republican Senator Ashley Moody in a race where Democrats aim to make inroads in a state that has become increasingly red.

Nixon Denies Socialist Label Amid DSA Ties in Florida Senate Bid

Florida Dems' Socialist Clash Exposes Party Rift

Florida's new Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon and state party chair Nikki Fried engaged in a heated exchange over Nixon's ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and the role of socialism in campaigning in a red-leaning state, signaling a fault line between the party's progressive base and its establishment as they grapple with messaging and coordination ahead of a bid to unseat Republican Sen. Ashley Moody.

Vindman pledges to redirect campaign funds to Florida Democrats after Senate loss

Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who lost Florida's Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate to Angie Nixon, will redirect the millions he raised toward Democratic causes, starting with a $400,000 donation to the Florida Democratic Party to back Nixon and other races; federal law lets him preserve the funds for future elections, pay debts, or transfer to parties, and he plans additional donations in coming days.

Nixon distances herself from socialist label after Florida primary upset

Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon, who scored a surprise Democratic Senate primary win, says she isn’t a socialist despite joining the Democratic Socialists of America, emphasizing housing, Medicare for All and unions while distancing herself from DSA orthodoxy on issues like prison abolition and open borders; she owns a bookstore, will campaign with both progressives and moderates, and won without major endorsements from DSA or Sanders (though Sanders backed her after the win). The national DSA was blindsided by her victory, and Nixon’s Gaza ceasefire stance and voting-rights advocacy illustrate a left-leaning record in a state wary of socialism, as she prepares to face Republican Ashley Moody in November.

Florida's Black Voters Defy Labels in Split Primary Outcomes

Florida’s primaries produced three striking outcomes that show Black voters aren’t a monolith: a Trump-backed Black Republican (Byron Donalds) is headed for the governor’s race, Angie Nixon, a Black progressive, won the Democratic Senate nomination, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz won in a heavily Black district. Taken together, the results suggest Black Floridians are being courted across the ideological spectrum and will base choices on issues like cost of living, opportunity, and representation rather than race alone, signaling a learning curve for both parties ahead of the November vote.

Nixon Upset Triggers Florida Dems to Regroup and Rethink Strategy

Progressive Angie Nixon’s primary upset over Alexander Vindman has Florida Democrats scrambling about whether she can win a general election against GOP Sen. Ashley Moody, her fundraising for down-ballot races, and how her DSA ties and Israel policy will play with key blocs like Latino and Jewish voters. Supporters tout her energizing, fighter persona as a path to turnout, while critics warn her positions could hinder cross-coalition gains and electability in a state with a large Republican margin and diverse electorate.

Grassroots Surge Seals Nixon's Florida Senate Primary Upset

Democratic socialist Angie Nixon defeated the better-funded Alexander Vindman in Florida’s Democratic Senate primary, riding a grassroots, locally focused coalition and performing well in low-income, less-educated, and Black communities where progressives typically struggle. Nixon’s surge shows that a bottom-up campaign can outpace national profiles and money in a high-profile race, reshaping Florida’s political landscape ahead of the general election.
