New Poll Puts Libertarian at 13% in Florida Governor’s Race

Republican polling firm 0ptiumus has released a survey showing Libertarian nominee Adrian Wyllie climbing to 13% in the Florida governor’s race.

“This week, the two candidates stayed neck and neck, and the only ‘mover’ in the race was Wyllie, who showed gains just outside the margin of error,” said 0ptimus’ founder and analyst Brian Stobie.  “We view this is a backlash to the two highly negative campaigns saturating Florida airwaves, particularly from those in our modeled undecided voter universes, who seem to be leading this trend toward Wyllie.”

The strong showing would be good news for Wyllie’s hopes of participating in a televised debate, as The Florida Press Association’s bar has been set at 15% support in an independent poll.  However, 0ptimus does not meet the definition of an “independent pollster” and the cutoff for meeting the mark was September 30th.
The Wyllie campaign has publicly stated they plan to fight the FPA’s decision, possibly taking the group to court.
