According to an exclusive Spectrum News/Siena College poll, Republican Ron DeSantis has a 49% to 41% edge in retaining his job as Florida’s governor over Democrat Charlie Crist. …

Republican U.S. Senator Marco Rubio currently enjoys a seven-point edge over Democratic opponent Val Demings (48% to 41%); along similar lines, Republican Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody holds a seven-point advantage over Democratic opponent Aramis Ayala (41% to 34%).

It’s worth noting, however, that Moody’s hold over Ayala might well be due to naked partisanship. The Spectrum News/Siena poll asked voters their opinions regarding both Moody and Ayala, without noting their party affiliations. 75% of voters didn’t know or refused to answer regarding Moody, while 83% of voters didn’t know or refused to answer about Ayala. The difference came, Levy noted, when the questions specified the candidates’ party affiliation.
