One survey seems to say so…..
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.
“When we look back on this legislative session, it is clear Floridians do not believe that Gov. DeSantis and legislative leaders focused on the priorities they believed would improve their lives,” said Progress Florida Executive Director Mark Ferrulo.
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….
..
Governor DeSantis Favorable/Unfavoriable poll numbers are actually worse than. President Biden in the latest Real Clear Politics listing at 38.2+ vs 43.8-….
Note….
The linked piece pollsters ARE progressive….
Florida voters are “dissatisfied “ with DeSantis and the Republican Legislature’s agenda?
Really?
Then why did a scant seven months ago they ReElect DeSantis handily and give Republicans overwhelming control of the Legislature?
They ran on the agenda they have enacted.
It was radical and extreme.They knew it but voted for it anyway.
This is total garbage and this so called “poll” doesn’t even make sense.
Cause a LOT of voters down there are fucking stupid…..
Some ARE waking up
But it’s tooooooo late
And you know this how?
Look you want to publish these rubbish “polls”( by your own admission this one was done by an anti DeSantis group) that’s up to you.
There’s Nothing to support any of this and I’ve read nothing from real Florida political observers to conclude that there is any “waking up” by Florida’s electorate.
This is a good example ,however ,of how you rummage through various sites to come up with some so called “facts” to back up your preconceived position.
Like I said,”Garbage.”
Two polls……
Agreed……
The RCP polls average….
Agreed……
He, he, he
EVERYONE READS poll’s Jack
EVERYONE bases comments on them
HTF would we have a picture of things even if that picture wasn’t precise?
We ALL like polls for our person and doubt and complain about ones that are not to oir advantage……
I mearly pose the question…..
And produce something to rationalize my question
You just reject the question off the cuff
That’s BS too.
I pay no attention when a political group conducts a “poll” and then against all rational evidence announces “surprise” that it confirms their stance.
This was done by a group opposed to DeSantis and the Republican Legislature .What James?
You think they would do a poll confirming how popular DeSantis is?
How damn dumb.
If you don’t understand the difference in a poll conducted by a nationally known organization and one conducted by a partisan group like this?
Well just shows how non serious you are.
Ok Jack….
But 538 rated a whole lot of ‘nationally known organization ‘s’ and some of them didn’t get good ratings either….
I understand enough to declare the background of the pollsters….
The results speak for themselves…..
And it WAS a BIG poll….
I take it you DO NOT like that DeSantis might be losing it in his home state of Florida?
Hmmmmm?
Damn James !
You found me out!
Everybody here knows what a big fan of DeSantis I am!
Goofy

Reality bites, eh?
