Club for Growth Action Polling Shows Greg Steube Dominates in FL-17 GOP Primary
Today, Club for Growth Action released a poll that shows Greg Steube with a 39% to 16% lead over Julio Gonzalez among Republican primary voters in Florida’s 17th Congressional District. Additionally, while Steube’s favorables continue to rise, Gonzalez’s unfavorables continue to grow.
Specifically, the polling revealed:
- Name ID and Image:
o Greg Stuebe’s favorables have increased by nearly 20 points from our survey a month ago, and Steube has a strong image with favorables more than twice his unfavorables.
o On the other hand, Julio Gonzalez’s image has gotten significantly worse with a 25-point increase in his unfavorables and only minimal improvement in his favorables. Gonzalez’s image is now upside-down with unfavorables more than half-again as large as his favorables.
- Ballot:
o Steube’s ballot share continues to grow, and he’s now at nearly 40% while Gonzalez is stuck in the mid-teens.
- Steube has nearly two-and-a-half times the vote that Gonzalez has, a commanding lead with only a few weeks left before the primary.
o Both leading indicators for election outcome look good for Steube.
- Steube leads by 27 points among voters who have heard of both Steube and Gonzalez and receives a majority of the vote among those with opinions of both.
