Poll: Eileen Higgins (D) enters Miami Mayor runoff doubling support of Emilio Gonzlez (R)

The dust has barely settled from Miami’s General Election, where Miami-Dade Commissioner Eileen Higgins and former City Manager Emilio González clinched their spots in a runoff for city Mayor.

But according to newly released internal polling numbers, the winner of that Dec. 9 clash will almost assuredly be Higgins.

Pollsters found that voters prefer Higgins over González by a more than 2-to-1 ratio.

Asked whom they support in a head-to-head matchup, 49.84% respondents to the survey side with Higgins, while 23.78% pick González. The remaining 26.38% say they are undecided.

MDW’s track record for predicting Miami’s election results this year has been solid. In August, a survey by the firm found Higgins led the field of mayoral candidates by a large margin — 36% support, the exact share of the vote she ultimately got — but not large enough to avoid a runoff.

That poll also identified González as her likely runoff foe and found former City Commissioner Ken Russell closely trailing him in third place. Russell placed third Tuesday less than 2 points behind González, with 17.6% of the vote.

MDW’s August survey also found there was overwhelming support for Referendum 4 to impose lifetime term limits on Miami Mayors and City Commissioners of two full terms.

The survey showed 71% support for the measure. It scored 79% support Tuesday.
