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.
