Poll: Democrats gaining ground, key races tighten in Florida as Donald Trump drags GOP
Democrats may be better positioned than they have been in years to compete — and potentially win — across Florida in the 2026 Midterms, buoyed by Republican weaknesses and a decisive shift among independent voters, new polling shows.
South Florida-based EDGE Communications and MDW Communications polled 1,834 likely Florida voters between March 27 and April 3. The poll, which carried a 2-percentage-point margin of error, found a political environment that appears increasingly competitive for Democrats in a state long dominated by Republicans.
The Trump effect
At the center of the findings is a warning sign for Republicans: President Donald Trump is underwater with Florida voters, and pollsters say that dynamic could have ripple effects down the ballot.
Trump posts a net negative approval rating of 6.1 percentage points statewide, with particularly sharp declines among no-party voters, where his net favorability is 39.3 points underwater.
