The poll surveyed 704 likely Florida voters from Oct. 18-21. The margin of error is 3.6 percentage points.

Tuesday’s poll shows Gillum with a slightly larger lead than a September FAU poll that showed the Democrat leading 41-38.

The latest FAU poll tracks closely with other poll results in the hotly contested race to replace outgoing Gov. Rick Scott (R). A RealClearPolitics average of polls in the race shows Gillum leading by 4.7 percentage points.

The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, rates the election as a “toss-up.”

The two candidates squared off in their first debate on Sunday, and are scheduled to meet in another debate on Wednesday.
