A new poll of Florida voters shows Republicans with a clear edge in the race for governor, though Democrats retain some pathways to competitiveness.

Overall, 51 percent of respondents said they would back a Republican candidate for governor, compared to 38 percent who said they would support a Democrat, according to the latest Cygnal poll. Another 11 percent remain undecided.

The poll was conducted between August 25 and 27 among 1,000 voters.
