Mod: Life will get tricky when you tangle with Mickey.Most Floridians Disapprove of State’s Direction, DeSantis’ Approval Rating Drops by 19 Points in New Poll (Floricualink): A survey of nearly 3,000 Florida voters reveals unease over the state’s direction, opposition to many of the bills signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, and frustration over rising housing and insurance costs.
Before this spring’s state legislative session, a majority of
Floridians believed the state was on the right track (46% right track / 42% wrong track). As the session came to a close, however, 50% believe the state is headed in the wrong direction, while only 42% think it’s on the right track.
Pollsters
Florida Watch and
Progress Florida, collectively known as the
Florida Communications and Research Hub (Hub), attribute this shift in their surveys to
Floridians’ growing dissatisfaction with the agenda carried out by
Gov. Ron DeSantis and legislators in
Tallahassee.
In February, before the legislative session, the
Hub’s polling showed
DeSantis with a 60% approval rate and the Florida Legislature with 49% support from voters. But by the time the legislative session was winding down, in late April and Early May, their surveys found that the governor’s approval rating dropped by a whopping 19 points (50% approve / 49% disapprove).
According to the
Hub, these results can be attributed to erosion among
Democrats (-38 pts),
No Party Affiliated voters (-16 pts), women (-12 pts), Latinos (-14 pts) – notably
Cuban-Americans (-12 pts) – and
Black Floridians (-37 pts). The
Florida Legislature’s approval rate also took a hit, dropping to 43% favorable and 47% unfavorable.
