Democratic Poll Shows Neck-and-Neck Race for DeSantis' Florida Seat

Democrat Nancy Soderberg and Republican Michael Waltz were essentially tied in a poll commissioned by the Democrat’s campaign in an open Florida district that President Donald Trump carried by double digits.

Waltz led Soderberg 47 percent to 46 percent in the 6th District poll, shared first with Roll Call. Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research surveyed 400 likely voters from Sept. 4-6, with 31 percent reached by cell phone. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added Soderberg, a former United Nations ambassador during the Clinton administration, to its Red to Blue program for strong recruits in March and she easily won the Democratic nomination last month. Waltz, an Afghan war veteran and onetime aide to former Vice President Dick Cheney, beat two other Republicans to secure the GOP nod.
