The reshaped 22nd District, formed under Gov. Ron DeSantis’ redistricting map, could give Floridians the opportunity to send yet another conservative to Washington, as President Donald Trump earned 54% of the vote there in 2024.
The poll of 432 likely Republican primary voters, conducted by National Victory Strategies, shows businessman Casey Askar holding a narrow lead in a crowded field on the eve of the election.
The Marine veteran and successful businessman has 16% support, only 3% ahead of cryptocurrency trader and entrepreneur Michael Carbonara, and 6% ahead of former police officer David Burke.
Belinda Keiser, who has a net worth close to $487 million and is the co-founder of Keiser University, a private college in the district, is seen trailing Askar by 8%.
Other candidates in the race, like political consultant Terri Hasdorff, and Lee County Executive Committee Chair Michael Thompson, came in close to 5% support, while commercial insurance auditor Richard Evans registered less than 1% of the vote.
The poll carries a margin of error of plus or minus 4.7 percentage points, meaning the top three candidates are within the poll’s margin of error. Plus, 46% of the respondents indicated that they were undecided, signaling Tuesday’s primary is truly a toss-up.
The relevant campaigns did not respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.
The victor of the Republican primary, scheduled for Aug. 18, will face off against the Democratic nominee in the November general election.
The Democratic primary is being contested by Pia Dandiya, former Department of Education fellow under former President Joe Biden, and trial lawyer Kaysia Earley.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
