Florida candidates make final visits on the campaign trail

The midterm elections are now just five days away. People are casting their votes early all across the state. Orange County mayoral candidate Chris Messina cast his ballot this morning while outgoing mayor Jerry Demings voted this afternoon. And so far, more than 3.5 million Floridians have already voted early. And for those who haven't, the candidates for governor are still hoping to swing your vote. Both Democrat David Jolly and Republican Brian Donalds Our final pushes on the campaign trail today. Matt Trezza has a look. David Jolly spoke to an enthusiastic crowd here in DeLand in the home stretch of his campaign. We've invested in access to housing, to health care, and to education, to home ownership, to affordable and workforce housing, access to health care, and, yes, investments in public education. That value is recognizing that for the economy to grow, government's got to do its part. Jolly's supporters say the Democrat is the right one for the job. Jolly is being funded by local education groups and labor unions. And if you look at Donald's, he's being funded by massive billionaire companies and data center companies. We're on integrity, we're on faith, and we need to bring that back together. We're not about divisiveness, we're about coming together as one. In five days, we are going to win, and I'm going to be your next governor. Meanwhile, Republican Byron Donald's campaign today in Boca Raton, the same policies that made you frustrated are the same policies they have today. Our mission is to make sure we go to the polls and we vote to make sure that we keep Florida free and we keep Florida red. The latest polls from St. Pete Polls shows Donald's currently leading Jolly by 2.3%. That was from a sample of 916 people with a 3.2% margin of error. UCF professors say it's a tight race, despite Florida having more than 1.5 million more registered Republicans. Republicans start with a huge advantage. They need to either have significant drop-off or people failing to turn out. And or a pretty decisive margin among independents against them in order to make things close. They say it'll all come down to voter turnout. For Democrats right now, I would say, yeah, they do have some hope that the turnout numbers for the first week or two here look pretty good for them. In that, again, their turnout is about equal to Republicans statewide. And because there's so many more Republicans, that's pretty good if you can just be about equal. But they do have to sort of have in the back of their mind, yeah, is there going to be a big Trump surge on Election Day? Tomorrow evening, President Trump will hold a rally for Donalds in Daytona Beach. From here, Jolly continued on to a stop in Orlando. Election Day is November 3rd. In DeLand, Matt Trezza, Fox 35 News.
