Byron Donalds Leads Republican Field in Florida Governor Race, Poll Shows

Rep. Byron Donalds leads Florida GOP governor primary with 37% support and 49% of voters still undecided, boosted by President Trump's endorsement, Mason-Dixon poll shows.

  • A Mason-Dixon poll released Jan. 15 finds U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds leading Florida's GOP primary, with support possibly influenced by high name recognition and endorsements.
  • Pollsters point to endorsements and recognition as the main drivers, with President Donald Trump's backing and 72% name recognition boosting U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds' standing.
  • The Jan. 8–13 survey by Mason-Dixon says its Jan. 8–13 phone sampling used a 400 registered Republican voters sample, with 49% undecided and a margin of error plus-or-minus five percentage points.
  • Donalds' campaign celebrated the poll results, and with the Aug. 18 primary still months away, donor and endorsement dynamics could shift in the Florida GOP governor primary.
  • Other polls, including Fabrizio, Lee & Associates, also show Byron Donalds as a frontrunner, with a survey indicating his recognition among half of respondents, while First Lady Casey DeSantis appears at 26%.
