Charlie Crist holds a dominant position in the St. Petersburg mayoral runoff after finishing first in the August 18 primary with 35% of the vote, well ahead of incumbent Ken Welch at 21%. A September 4 St. Pete Polls survey shows Crist at 52% support to Welch’s 27% among likely voters, with Crist improving among Black voters, Democrats, and independents while Welch’s job approval sits underwater. Crist has outraised the incumbent by wide margins in recent reporting periods and secured endorsements from eliminated primary candidates. Traders price Crist as the clear favorite for the November 3 general election, reflecting these primary results, polling trends, and fundraising advantages in the head-to-head contest.
