The coverage will pay special attention to Miami and the Cuban-American community, with updates on the counting as authorities release data.
The latest polls before voting
The national poll by Reuters/Ipsos, conducted from October 29 to November 2, showed Democrats with a lead among likely voters in the generic Congressional preference: 52% compared to 44% for Republicans. The same survey indicated a 32% approval rating for President Donald Trump. The measurement reflects national preferences and does not determine the specific results in each district or the ultimate control of the two chambers.
In Florida, the review released on November 2 by RedBox Research places Republican Byron Donalds at 47.1% and Democrat David Jolly at 46.1% in the gubernatorial race. For the federal Senate, it estimates 47.5% for Republican Ashley Moody and 45.1% for Democrat Angie Nixon. The estimated lead is one point for Donalds and 2.4 points for Moody.
RedBox is the polling unit of the super PAC A Fight Worth Having, which funded the study. The review adjusted the weights and the model, but is based on the same 2,898 interviews with likely voters conducted on October 30 and 31: there was no new round of interviews. The figures are state estimates and not results from the tally or a specific measurement of the Cuban-American vote.
Other studies provide different distances. The Stetson CPOR poll, conducted from October 26 to 30, gave 51% to Donalds and 45% to Jolly, along with 49% for Moody compared to 45% for Nixon. The differences between polling agencies and models do not, on their own, prove changes in voter preferences.
