Miami-Dade mayoral candidate Carlos Gimenez’s campaign has released a pretty flawed poll, and even that show’s he’s trailing former Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina. Though, the poll does show that Gimenez is losing ground. The major problem here is that this is an eight-person race, and the survey only asked about two candidates.
The poll was taken April 13 and conducted by Dario Moreno. The poll shows Robaina with 26 percent of the vote, and Gimenez with 20 percent. 54 percent are “undecided” or possibly committed to a candidate not mentioned in the survey. Here’s the breakdown:
The poll shows Robaina with a pretty major lead in Hispanic voters, while the “Anglos” and “Blacks” as they’re called here sligthly favor Gimenez, but most are undecided (or, again, voting for someone else. Uncle Luke perhaps?).
While the campaign is non-partisan, Gimenez’s rhetoric errs to the right, but he seems to do better amongst Democratic voters.
