The race for Broward sheriff is over, according to a poll done in the last week.
Sheriff Scott Israel has such an overwhelming lead that will be almost impossible for his Democratic primary opponents to catch up, the survey by his political committee indicates.
The poll found that the sheriff has a lead of almost 10-to-1 over his closest opponent Willie Jones.
Browardbeat.com obtained the poll exclusively from the committee.
Perhaps most interesting is that the poll was largely conducted during the intense media coverage surrounding the escape by murder suspect Davonte Resiles and Israel’s subsequent criticism of the Broward County Commission for failing to fully fund security at the Broward Main Courthouse. Apparently the 350 likely Democratic voters surveyed were unmoved by the event.
The poll was conducted Thursday, July 14 through Tuesday, July 19. Resiles escaped Friday, July 15.
Why is Israel likely to be unbeatable?
