Democrat Andrew Gillum holds a 6-point lead over Republican Ron DeSantis in Florida's gubernatorial race, according to a new poll.

The University of North Florida poll of likely voters found that Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, has the support of 49 percent of likely voters in the state, while 43 percent said they plan to back DeSantis, a former congressman.

Gillum's lead is slightly up from the 4-point edge he held in the same poll last month.

The poll is consistent with other recent polling in the race that has shown Gillum with a single-digit lead ahead of next week's election.

1. Let's hope trump continues to attack him, that seems to be working.........for Gillum!

[duforsure]

2. Trump speaking or tweeting

Is making people run away from him and their party , and votiing for Democrats. He's trying to create division , not unity, hate and fear not the truth, and its backfiring on him. He's desperately tying any dirty tricks and ways to corrupt this from being another disaster, but he is making it worse instead now. Keep tweeting and talking!

6. Don't pop the champagne yet

There are usually "hidden Republicans" not detected by pollstets, I always add 5% to Repug poll results.

Still, the trend is encouraging.
