Poll Shows Democrat Gray Narrowly Closing Gap with Rep. Luna in Florida Race
A new GQR poll indicates retired Brigadier General Leela Gray trails incumbent Rep. Anna Paulina Luna by just three points in a district that has leaned Republican.
The survey, released to one outlet, places Gray at 44% and Luna at 47%, a margin that falls within the poll's 4.4-point error range, effectively making the contest a statistical tie. The Pinellas County-based seat has historically been out of Democratic reach as Florida moves further right. Luna enjoys high name recognition at 94% but faces mixed approval, while Gray criticizes perceived corruption in Washington. Democrats also cite President Donald Trump's unfavorable rating in the district as a potential drag on the incumbent.
Why it matters
The tight race could signal shifting voter sentiment in a traditionally Republican Florida district.
