Race For Governor
Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren Endorses Andrew Gillum For Governor
Mayor Gillum Has Slight Edge Over Republican Candidate
A recent poll says that Tallahassee’s Mayor, An- drew Gillum is leading his Republican opponent by 4 points in Florida’s guberna- torial race. In 3 separate polls taken recently, Gillum had a slight edge on Representa- tive Ron DeSantis.
A little more than 500 voters were interviewed in the most recent poll.
The poll also showed a
gender gap. Women sup- ported Gillum’s ticket over DeSantis by 10 points, while men sided with De- Santis over Gillum by 4 points.
And there was a racial di- vision as well.
White voters backed De- Santis over Gillum by 53- 36 percent and non-whites supported Gillum over De- Santis by 64-27 percent.
