*Potential Democratic Pickup* FL 26 Mucarsel-Powell (Democrat) 50% Carlos Curbelo (Repugnant) 48%




Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell narrowly led two-term Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo, well within the margin of error, in a new Democratic poll of Florida’s 26th District.

Mucarsel-Powell led the incumbent 50 percent to 48 percent in the poll conducted for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s independent expenditure arm and obtained first by Roll Call.

GBA Strategies surveyed 500 likely voters between Sept. 27 and Oct. 1. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

This would be a nice pickup. Curbelo is one of the stronger Repugnant incumbents

She won't get a lot of the Cuban vote (maybe the younger ones), but she should do well among non Cuban Hispanics in the region.
