Byron Donalds Posts $22.2 Million Quarter, Leads New Florida Governor Poll

Big-money backing signals a clear early edge.

Overview

  • An Emerson College poll released Thursday puts Donalds at 46% in the GOP primary, with rivals stuck in single digits and 39% of voters undecided.
  • In a hypothetical general election, the same survey shows Donalds ahead of Democrat David Jolly, with 17% of voters still uncommitted.
  • The campaign announced Wednesday it raised $22.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, lifting total receipts to more than $67 million across his campaign and state committee.
  • Donalds highlights support from President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Elon Musk, Senator Rick Scott and a majority of Florida sheriffs.
  • Democrats remain unsettled as 53% of their primary voters are undecided, and Casey DeSantis polls at 7% in a GOP hypothetical that still leaves Donalds in front.
