Poll shows CD 6 Special Election within margin of error

Weil Fine
Republican Randy Fine holds the edge ahead of a Special Election for Congress.

Republican Randy Fine holds the edge ahead of a Special Election for Congress. But his lead over Democrat Josh Weil falls within the poll’s margin of error despite the heavy GOP tilt of Florida’s 6th Congressional District.

That’s according to a survey done for Florida Politics by St. Pete Polls ahead of the Tuesday Special Election to succeed former U.S. Rep. Mike Waltz.

The results show Fine winning just over 48% of the vote, while Weil received just over 44%.

The poll of 403 likely voters in CD 6 was conducted on March 22. Pollsters report a 4.9% margin of error, greater than Fine’s lead.

And among those polled who said they already voted, more than half supported the Democrat. Weil leads 51% to 43% among those whose decision has already been made via a mail-in ballot or in-person early voting. According to the survey, about 38% of likely voters have already cast their ballots in the race.

That means Fine will have to make up the difference with those who vote between now and the close of polls on Tuesday at 7 p.m. if he intends to move into Congress. He definitely hopes for that, having already submitted an irrevocable resignation letter from the Florida Senate to run.

But Weil has massively outraised Fine. As of reports on fundraising through March 12, Weil had $1.3 million in cash on hand for the race’s final stretch, while Fine had just $93,000.

Democrats hope to capitalize on outrage at President Donald Trump. Indeed, while Trump won CD 6 by double digits in November and Waltz won re-election with 66.5% of the vote, less than 51% of voters in the district approve of the job Trump is doing as President. Trump is still above water in the district, with 45% disapproving. However, Fine underperforms Trump’s approval ratings in the poll.

According to the poll, voters without party affiliation are voting heavily for Weil, with 57% of those polled intending to back the Democrat and 34% supporting Fine. Meanwhile, about 14% of voters in the district are supporting Weil, while Fine is winning over just 9% of Democrats.

    WAKE UP FLORIDA REPUBLICANS:
    Why are all Republicans sleeping on the facts (as exposed in previous knowledge drops of Sage Earl Wisdom) that CD6 & several Florida Districts Democrats are funded by George Soros money?
    As you, one & all, know theres no way a Demoncrat could ever, ever ever ever, out fund raise Sage Republican Candidates in The Free State of Florida without a Massive infusion of George Soros Money.
    THAT BEING SAID:
    The only reason which I, EARL PITTS AMERICAN, can thìnk of for Florida Republicans to sleep on Earl’s Sage Wisdon, is that they have dimunitive tiny peanuts rather than having been blessed with Sage Bull of the Woods Low-Hanging Gonads such as me, EARL PITTS AMERICAN.

        The majority of Americans have awakened and finally realize the lies from the media. We also finally understand the tactics the democrats have been using. Guilt & shaming Americans by saying we were born racist! That Americans are inferior to European and other countries. That everything the Republicans say is a conspiracy theory. That if we practice & value our religious principles, we are radical right wingers. That it is not possible Biden had dementia. Americans be proud of that we have supported the poor, disabled black & brown folks to all be treated fairly. That America is a fantastic country to live in! Vote to protect our children. Vote to protect them from the exposure of sex and other adult issues. To protect our children from the terrorists allowed into our country.

          Beverly, I am from Canada. The media is telling you the truth. You chose to believe people who are not professionals in the field of journalism. Americans are inferior to Canadians and Europeans. Many Americans haven’t left their county or state and no little about other cultures which is why you fear those who are different. Your education system is pathetic. Republicans want their voters to remain ignorant and are currently trying to eliminate the Department of Education. And, yes, many Americans are racist. The only thing American children have to fear is Trump, Trumpers and Trumpism.

I think most all love one another and would help someone in need. Now if you are talking about our governments that a different story. Most government only think about power and not compassion. I don’t agree with my government but i am not any less of a person either.

            It pays to edit your post prior to submission when trying to prove Canadians are better educated than Americans.

            Our media told us for years that Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack.” Is that part of the truthful reporting we should believe?

We as American have a constitution that protects us and that is what we believe in. We don’t like foreigners telling us what we should and should not do. We have a right to vote and we are trying to save our country from being destroyed. I am a proud Republican. The best thing for you to do is go back to Canada since it’s soo great. Thank you

            Don’t worry about the stock market. When it drops, it just means that the stocks are on sale, buy more! It will only increase your net worth when it turns around and it will. Look at the investment in America that is happening. All these companies building new plants in the USA. You can’t make a knee jerk reaction on what Trump is doing in the 1st 3 months, no more than you can say who will win a game during the 1st 5 minutes or 1st inning. It’s a process that needs to work itself out. You plant seeds but you don’t reap the crop the next day or week. Why aren’t we all American’s that support our President in the hope of a better prosperous America? If you wish for Trump to fail, you wish for America to fail.

Trump’s on again off again tariff threats are Willy Nilly. And now Trump has brought back inflation. When Biden left office, inflation was 2.4% The markets were still experiencing the Biden Boom. Now under Trump the stock markets are falling everyday. With Biden, we had a robust economy, workers felt secure in their jobs and could plan their futures with their families. No we have chaos, with your hero, Musk, going after Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. He should be deported back to South Africa.

But now you got an actual evil billionaire who is oppressing and injuring his workers, interfering with our elections by buying races, then leveraging that into power over our elected government and destroying government agencies who were supposed to protect us the people by investigating his abuses and fraud, etc. etc. etc. And you all are ok with it. And by the way, George Soros, had never ever done anything close to what Stink is doing now. But you’re seemingly ok with the unelected south african illegal immigrant, who is taking in $8M a day from the US government, raping lady liberty and our constitution because he promised you to own the libs.

        Susan, tell that to the hundreds of people whose checks have stopped because Musk and his minions said the person was dead. Several of those people do not other income to rely on for food and housing! Social security is not a scheme. I paid into mine and I’m entitled to draw upon it. You can give your check to Musk if you like

        Tell me why the Trump Administration is withholding any information of those who were sent to El Salvador. It sure looks like they are hiding something. They have no charges here or in El Salvador because they have no court dates. And Nayib Bukele has said no one will “walk” out of that prison ever. Can you explain?

      My son is concerned with losing NIH grants. He isn’t and won’t.

      Is Fine the perfect candidate? No
      But coming from a father who has had two daughters in competitive sports, the choice is easy.

      No abortion up to and past birth

    From the UK, it looks like anyone who can’t see what Trump and his regime are doing, has lost their mind. It’s so obvious when you’re not in the MAGA cult, to see what is happening. He has destroyed alliances with Europe, Canada and Mexico, because “we are all baddies ripping America off’” He has ignored court orders and is threatening to dismantle the judiciary, because “they are so mean to him and want to prevent him from doing illegal things.” He has forced by coercion corporate law firms and universities to acquiesce to his demands for loyalty to him, because he “doesn’t like it when people peacefully protest about things he doesn’t agree with.” He has arrested and detained Europeans, Canadians, doctors, makeup artists,footballers, Venezuelans, Germans and more, and sent them into detention centres for no reason and without due process. He has allowed ICE agents in masks to drag people off the street for expressing opinions that he doesn’t like. He has appointed idiots to the highest level government positions. That’s not to mention his own criminal record. Sigh.
