The sun sets on DeSantis in the Sunshine State 🌞
Nationally, the GOP primary polls make it clear that most Americans wonder what Floridians saw in Ron DeSantis. Now, even his home state crowd is wondering why they liked Ron in the first place. His approval in Florida is underwater. And his policies are scorned. Here is how Florida Politics reported it:
"Florida voters are starting to turn on Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to new polling from Progress Florida and Florida Watch. The organizations, collectively known as the Florida Communications and Research Hub, asked voters whether they approved of the Republican presidential candidate and found him underwater 52%-45%. DeSantis’ favorability rating is also in the negative, 50%-45%.
Compared to a year ago, when DeSantis was re-elected by nearly 20 points, the Hub’s polling shows nothing short of a nose-dive. As recently as February, the Governor’s approval rating was in the positive by double digits. By May it was a coin flip." It is important to note that these are progressive polling organizations. The absolute numbers may slant in their political favor. However, the trend is unmistakable and significant. Many Floridians who once liked the Boy Blunder have changed their minds.
Ron’s policies have also received a thumbs down. The report continued: "His ratings on key issues have also taken a turn for the worse. Six months ago, voters approved of his job addressing housing issues by an 11-point margin. The score has flipped and then some, with the December poll showing 62% disapproval and 29% approval. Health care affordability slipped from a plus-1 to a minus-14 and double-digit advantages on economic and public safety issues have all but evaporated."
DeSantis is term-limited...
