POLL: Val Demings In Dead Heat With Marco Rubio, Who Is Under 50 Percent In Latest Poll

KEY POINTS
A StPetePolls statewide poll of the Florida Senate race between Rep. Val Demings and Marco Rubio shows Rubio at 48% and Demings at 46%. Critically, the two-time incumbent Republican is under 50%.

This 2-point lead over Val Demings falls within the margin of error.

Swing voters remain split, with just over 46% going to Rubio and just under 46% going to Demings, and more than 8% have yet to decide between the two.

If elected, Demings would become the second woman and first African-American woman to serve Florida in the Senate.

In a sign of a shift in Florida’s electorate, if the 2020 election were re-played today President Biden would defeat Donald Trump.
