FL-14: Did Gov. DeSantis draw a dummymander? Poll shows Kathy Castor beating both top Republicans in CD 14

Gov. Ron DeSantis redrew Florida’s 14th Congressional District to retire U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor. A new St. Pete Polls survey suggests it may not work.

The survey shows the Tampa Democrat leading both top Republicans vying to replace her. Castor tops former state Rep. Mike Beltran 46% to 38%, with 16% undecided. Against state Rep. Kevin Steele, she leads 46% to 39%, with 15% undecided.

The new map made CD 14 far more Republican. About 55% of voters in the redrawn district supported Donald Trump for President in 2024, while about 44% backed Democrat Kamala Harris.

On paper, Republicans should win this seat by double digits. The poll says otherwise, at least for now
