When Ron DeSantis won Florida's very close governor's race in 2018, a CNN exit poll reported that 18% of Black women had voted for the Republican. The result was out of line with other exit polls. A Fox News poll put his support from the group at 4%.
The Fox result was more aligned with national figures for support for Republicans among Black women. Seven percent of Black women in 2018 voted for Republicans nationwide, up from 4% in 2016.
