Decision Desk HQ shifted its rating of Florida’s gubernatorial race from “Leans Republican” to “Toss Up” on Wednesday as the contest entered its final stretch.

The Hill reported that DDHQ made the change amid a difficult midterm electoral environment for Republicans. Republican Rep. Byron Donalds is running in a race that several outlets describe as tightening, while a new Stetson poll cited by Florida Politics raised doubts about a broader Democratic wave in the state.
