Four Weeks To Go

Election Day is just four weeks away and as we head down the home stretch of this midterm election cycle, Florida’s not the focal point for a change. Yes, Governor DeSantis, aka America’s Governor, still makes the most headlines, though most in news media have already conceded the outcome of November’s election, instead seemingly focusing on trying to do him in before a potential presidential bid. How dramatic has the change in Florida in just four years been? Four years ago today, Andrew Gillum, Tallahassee's favorite bisexual criminal, held a four-point average over Ron DeSantis. Today, that average lead in the same polls, which are likely still understating Ron’s performance, show a seven-point lead for the governor. Even Nate Silver’s 538 agrees as he currently projects DeSantis with a ten-point win. A margin unheard of in recent Florida election cycles. Four years and an eleven-point turnaround. That’s huge, especially with just four weeks ago. So too are the prospects for Republicans across the state like Senator Rubio who is now being given an 86% chance of winning reelection by the aforementioned 538, and all statewide races for that matter as well. Moody and Patronis appear poised for solid reelections, and Wilton Simpson likewise appears to be well positioned. Take nothing for granted, and as I’ve mentioned, vote like your freedom depends on it, because as we’ve seen in recent years, it does, but with four weeks to go the best bet in Florida politics appears to be a Republican sweep statewide, with fairly wide margins, and a record number of elected Republicans top to bottom in our state once all of the votes are counted.
