PHILIP LEVINE HOLDS COMMANDING LEAD IN KEY MARKETS

In the last two weeks, the campaign conducted regional polls in two key Florida markets – Southeast Florida and Tampa Bay – which together represent more than 50% of the state’s Democratic primary vote. Philip Levine now has a commanding lead in both markets. TAMPA BAY MARKET: Levine leads Graham by 14-points, while Gillum and King remain in single digits For the first time in four cycles, although Tampa Bay doesn’t have a local candidate, new polling shows a new favorite has emerged. Voters there give Philip Levine a 14-point advantage over Gwen Graham. The latest polling not only reflects Philip’s message and media campaign, but also his decision to invest heavily and early in a regional field and outreach program. With Levine for Governor being the only campaign with regional offices in the Tampa Bay area, we remain best positioned to reach voters through every medium.
