Most Floridians Disapprove of States Direction, DeSantis Approval Rating Drops 19 Points in New Poll

When will Florida's Desantis nightmare end?

 

*Republican* Floridians are happy. You should be more specific.

 

Not soon enough

 

Even they all aren't. I run in a generally right leaning bubble. Some are into the culture war stuff. A lot are not and realize it's costing them support.

 

One can be conservative and also not agree with every little fight that DeSantis decides to pick

He was great during COVID because it was unique and imo, the general population were secretly tired of unpopular restrictions. The position he took was an easy win for him. He is underwhelming with everything else

 

The “easy win” is not indicative of good leadership though. Nor is going with the “popular” winds. Desantis flip flopped on Covid depending on how useful it was to him. Going from over the top beach shutdowns and stopping New Yorkers at the FL border, to full on “liberator” and then anti-vaxxer nutjob once he recognized where the party “base” had gone. He actually took two different extremes. How the hell is that good leadership? Just shows he’d flip flop for political expedience with little regard for anything else, including the very lives of his constituency.

I can understand a more moderate track on COVID, to balance public health vs. maintaining an economy, but Desantis never took that.

 

Most Floridians. Literally just had a re-election of our Governor the likes of which had not been seen before.

No doubt some hard core progressives are living in their own misery.

 

He was certainly wrong in the beginning. And he realized it. And led accordingly…

 

I think DeSantis is confused. He must think the 30% is the percentage of Americans who don't support Trump or Trump imitators like himself. If DeSantis is somehow the Republican presidential nominee, in the general election he will find out in a big way who the 70% is.

 

Most is not specific enough, either. It could mean anything from 50.0000001% to 99.9999999%. I believe it’s close to 50/50.

Also, I wouldn’t say I’m miserable, but I don’t like the direction the state is going in.

 

There is a reason Florida has seen people moving here in record numbers. And it is because of the direction you of the state you don’t care for. Most do care for it.

 

6 week ban will be the death of his run. Nobody but far righters wanted that.

 

Is Biden also responsible for the decrease in energy prices?

 

Not nearly soon enough.

 

And here I thought all those people they interview at Trump rallies were fakes. How did Biden manage to trigger the high inflation rate in those EU countries?

 

In addition to blaming DeSantis for soaring personal lines insurance rates, poll shows that most Floridians oppose self-defense and also restrictions on baby-killing.

 

Last time I checked most Floridians do not oppose restrictions on "baby killing" although recent polls do indicate that they oppose interference by the state in personal medical decisions. Seems that in the case of medical decisions apparently Floridians support a libertarian position regarding the role of government rather than an authoritarian or theocratic position.
