Donalds Leads Florida GOP Governor Primary in Internal Poll as Trump Endorsement Widens Margin

Results from a campaign-affiliated survey of 600 likely voters depict Donalds leading across declared and hypothetical fields.

Overview

Among declared Republicans, Byron Donalds polls at 47% versus James Fishback at 5% and Paul Renner at 4%, with the remainder undecided.
When respondents are told of President Trump’s endorsement, Donalds’ support rises to 76% against the declared field, with Fishback at 6% and Renner at 1%.
If Lt. Gov. Jay Collins enters, Donalds still leads 45% to 6%, and informing voters of Trump’s backing places Donalds at 58% support.
With Casey DeSantis included hypothetically, Donalds leads 39% to 26%, and that margin is 48% to 21% when voters hear about Trump’s endorsement.
The Fabrizio, Lee & Associates poll surveyed 600 likely GOP primary voters Jan. 4–6 (±4% margin of error), and the pollster says Collins’ late‑2025 ad bounce has dissipated.
