Alexander Vindman

The survey also shows Byron Donalds leading David Jolly by 5 points, 46%-41%, in the race for Florida governor.

State Democratic leaders in Florida are hoping for a reversal of fortune in this year's midterm elections. Yet, some in the state's minority party say electoral realities and potential party factions could make any statewide path to victory challenging.

"I'm fighting to lower costs for Florida families, and that starts with an immediate pause on the federal gas tax to provide immediate relief for Floridians." Vindman said in a statement.

Vindman is seeking the Democrat nomination to run against Republican Sen. Ashley Moody. The winner of November's special election will finish the last two years of Marco Rubio's term.
