For the first time in the two-week-old general election campaign for Florida Governor, one candidate is nearing a lead outside the margin of error.

According to a recent poll from the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Democrat Andrew Gillum is four points up on Republican Ron DeSantis.

The spread is 47-43, with Gillum ahead in every major media market but Jacksonville.

“Politically speaking, this is an interesting poll because most voters have learned a little about Ron DeSantis, yet most voters don’t know Andrew Gillum because he is a surprise winner and the most liberal of the Democrats on the ballot that ran in the primary election,” said Marian Johnson, senior vice president of Political Strategy of the Florida Chamber.
