STORY EXCERPTS:

A day after a poll showed the race in Florida’s 13th Congressional District between Republican incumbent Anna Paulina Luna and her Democratic opponent, Whitney Fox, in a dead heat, a new survey commissioned by the conservative Club for Growth PAC shows Luna up by 6 percentage points, 51%-45%, with 5% undecided.

A previous poll commissioned by the Club for Growth PAC taken in late August had Luna up, 48%-43%, with 10% undecided. The PAC released only the bottom line of its new poll, conducted Oct. 6 and 7.

The race is considered the most competitive of the 28 congressional districts in the state, but the district is definitely Republican leaning. As of late July, nearly 55,000 more registered Republicans than registered Democrats lived in the district, according to the Florida Division of Elections.

…

The new Club for Growth poll was conducted by WPA Intelligence, which surveyed 403 likely voters in the district. The survey has a margin of error of +4.9% at the 95% confidence level. That’s in contrast to the St. Pete Polls survey, which interviewed more than twice as many voters (905). It was conducted before Hurricane Milton hit Florida and did not include any demographic information on who was polled.

Luna was first elected to the seat in November 2022, defeating Democrat Eric Lynn by 8 percentage points.

…

The polling organization 538 is forecasting Luna to hold on to the seat by more than 6 percentage points.
