Florida GOP Expands Voter Registration Lead to 10 Points

The Republican Party of Florida has achieved a historic milestone with a 10-point voter registration lead over Democrats, holding a 1.353 million voter advantage statewide, the largest in Florida's history. This significant shift marks a reversal from 2020 when Democrats led by over 134,000 voters, and from 2018 when the Democratic lead was even larger. The GOP's gains are notable in traditionally Democratic strongholds such as Miami-Dade, Hillsborough, and Palm Beach counties, while Democrats now only hold narrow leads in Duval and Palm Beach. Florida's transformation into a reliably Republican state reflects a broader national trend, with Democrats losing millions of registered voters in multiple states while Republicans gain. Florida's growing Republican dominance also has implications for the 2026 midterm elections, as potential redistricting could further favor GOP candidates, making it harder for Democrats to maintain control of the House. Republican leaders emphasize their message on safer communities, stronger schools, and economic growth as key factors driving this realignment.
