Internal polling shows Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) leading as he campaigns for the governorship of his state, Florida Politics reported on Monday.
The news comes after President Donald Trump endorsed Donalds for the 2026 gubernatorial race, calling him a “TOTAL WINNER,” Breitbart News reported on February 20.
According to the Politics article, Donalds is pulling out ahead of two other Republicans who could possibly run for governor:
Fort Lauderdale-based survey, research and strategic consulting firm Fabrizio Lee & Associates, which Donalds hired for his campaign, polled 600 likely Republican Primary voters in Florida from Feb. 26-27. The poll had a 5-percentage-point margin of error.
Pollsters found that 34% of respondents prefer Donalds as Florida’s next Governor, while 30% like First Lady Casey DeSantis for the job.
Three percent said they plan to vote for Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, who is also rumored to be gearing up for a run. The remainder were undecided.
The Politics report noted that as voters learn Donalds is Trump’s pick, his potential for victory grows.
