Overview
- A Mason-Dixon phone survey conducted Jan. 8–13 sampled 400 registered Republicans and 400 registered Democrats statewide, with a reported margin of error of ±5%.
- In the Republican primary, Byron Donalds leads with 37%, followed by Jay Collins at 7%, Paul Renner at 4% and James Fishback at 3%, with Mason-Dixon also noting 49% undecided.
- Donalds is the only candidate in either party recognized by a majority of their voters, while most respondents report little familiarity with Collins, Renner and Fishback.
- On the Democratic side, David Jolly holds 23% to Jerry Demings’ 19%, a difference within the poll’s margin of error, and 58% of Democrats say they are undecided.
- Recent coverage of other polling indicates Donalds’ support increases when respondents are told he has President Donald Trump’s endorsement.
