The St. Pete municipal election this November could be all about the undecided voters based on a new poll released Thursday by St. Pete Polls.

St. Petersburg City Council member Steve Kornell may have been slightly disappointed when he drew a last-minute challenger for re-election in District 5, but based on the latest campaign finance reports, his opposition isn’t necessarily formidable. Kornell has raised more than $33,000 as of the end of June compared to Philip Garrett’s $185. And that Kornell is trailing off in fundraising activity is also a likely indication that he’s not worried about being ousted from his seat. Of his total…
