Pro-Life Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Has Huge Lead Over Pro-Abortion Charlie Crist

-

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is ahead of his Democratic opponent, former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, by double digits in the state’s gubernatorial race, according to a new survey released on Wednesday.

DeSantis led Crist by 14%, earning the support of 55% of respondents over Crist’s 41%, according to the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab, which conducted the survey. The poll, if correct, would mean a landslide win for DeSantis and a marked increase from his 2018 margin of victory over Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, which was 0.4%.

The survey was conducted between Oct. 17 and 24, the latter date being the day of the only debate between the candidates. During the debate, DeSantis called Crist a “worn-out old donkey” whom he was “looking to put out to pasture.”

In response, Crist said that DeSantis “love[d] to bully people and the name-calling,” citing his criticism of children standing behind him at a press conference in March. “You do not have to wear those masks,” he said, adding that “it’s not doing anything, and we’ve got to stop with this COVID theater. So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous.”

Most polling has shown DeSantis far ahead of Crist, with an average lead of 11% according to RealClearPolitics, the largest of any incumbent governor up for reelection in the country. FiveThirtyEight gives DeSantis a 97% chance of winning the race.

DeSantis has become a popular politician among conservatives across the country for his policies to advance parental rights in education, ban textbooks with contested sexuality concepts, and target Disney for its opposition to his policies at the instigation of left-leaning employees. He first garnered their acclaim for his COVID-19 policies, refusing to initiate new lockdowns after June of 2020.

Both candidates have focused on parallel themes in the race, with DeSantis emphasizing his record on the economy, touting the state’s employment growth rate and his policy of tax holidays amidst high nationwide inflation. Crist, meanwhile, made “reproductive freedom” a top priority in the race, claiming that he will take executive action to ensure abortion is possible in Florida under his administration.

If DeSantis wins, he will be ineligible for another term as governor due to Florida’s constitutional term limits. As a result, and due additionally to his popularity, he is widely speculated to be a top-tier candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

The University of North Florida poll surveyed 622 likely voters and had an error margin of 4.7%. It is graded “A/B” by FiveThirtyEight for reliability.

The DeSantis and Crist campaigns did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case. A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called  COVID Act Now.  The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response i...

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
