Ron DeSantis Holds Double-Digit Lead over Democrat Challenger Charlie Crist

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is leading Democrat challenger Charlie Crist by ten percentage points, a recent Sachs Media Group survey found.

The survey, taken mere weeks ahead of the 2022 midterm election, found the Republican governor leading the Democrat by ten percentage points — 52 percent to 42 percent. Six percent remain unsure — not enough to compromise the governor’s lead.

Notably, DeSantis enjoys more support from the Republican base (94 percent) than Crist enjoys from Democrats (84 percent). But among independents, DeSantis takes the clear lead, 59 percent to Crist’s 38 percent — a difference of 21 points.
