Gov. Ron DeSantis could pull out a double-digit victory over Democratic challenger Charlie Crist, according to one new poll.
Survey results from Florida Atlantic University’s Business and Economics Polling Initiative show 51% of registered voters in the state intend to support DeSantis’ re-election. Meanwhile, just 40% intend to vote for Crist.
While Hurricane Ian may present DeSantis with an historic challenge in his official capacity, positive reviews of the state’s immediate response have lifted him from a solid lead to an overwhelming one.
“The governor’s hurricane response received strong approval among Floridians, who most likely favor him in the upcoming gubernatorial race,” said Dr. Monica Escaleras, BEPI director.
Indeed, while DeSantis’ approval rating is in good shape, with 56% viewing his job performance favorably, about 63% gave good marks to the Governor’s hurricane response.
That said, only 2.8% list hurricane response as the most issue determining their vote, but DeSantis seems in good shape regardless. Inflation remains the top concern of more than 36% of voters, followed by threats to democracy at 19%.
Meanwhile, 66% say they expect DeSantis to win re-election, an indication that even a substantial number of Crist voters hold little hope the election will turn around before Nov. 8.
As far as general favorability, DeSantis appears to be the most popular candidate in the state, looking both at the field for Governor and Senator. About 56% of voters view DeSantis in a positive light, compared to 38% who view him unfavorably. That’s a good bit better than Crist, who sits underwater. Only 41% view the former Republican Governor-turned-Democratic Congressman in a positive light, and 47% see him unfavorably.
Crist does well with younger voters, but the survey and historical trends both suggest that’s an unreliable demographic as far as turnout. And the same poll shows DeSantis, if he were running for President against Joe Biden now, would win the vote of 48% of Florida voters to Biden’s 42%. That’s a better showing even than another Florida resident considered as a 2024 contender, former President Donald Trump.

That’s quite alright. Ron is ok. But I will still be voting for VAL DEMINGS. She has more charisma and seems a lot more down to earth than that cold drink of water Marco Rubio.
Common sense

This is what the Red Tsunami will look like on 8 November. No one wants Biden near them that’s running as a Democrat for office. No one running as a “D” wants to talk about inflation, fuel prices, city crime, defund the police, and the Southern Border. The Dems want to talk about abortion and green energy. The rout is coming. People vote with their finances and they have seen enough of the Biden, Pelosi, Schumer shot show.

joey, don’t worry.
After November nobody has to pay taxes anymore.
The GOP says it will work.
And we can still double the military budget every year.
And if we just declare climate change a hoax, it will go away.
And if we have mandatory open carry for all ages, crime will disappear.
And inflation? The evaporation of supply followed by incredible demand has nothing to do with it anymore. The fact the rest of the world is facing even higher inflation than we are, is irrelevant.
Gas prices? Gas will be free after November if we just let the oil companies drill offshore and quit all this nonsense about clean energy.

Before you vote know this. Charlie Crist and Val Demings support the following—
*Both Support the liberal class curriculum for children. Critical Race Theory, who is a racist, LGBTQ, gender identity.
*Biden’s Open borders policy (est 5 million have crossed to date) more tax for the middle class.
*Both oppose Voter ID.
*Amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
*Both opposed to the wall, (Demings voted against the wall.)
*Supports Sanctuary cities.
*Support convicts the right to vote from State & Federal Prisons.
*Freeze on American oil production yet buying oil from other countries who pollute the environment?
* Abortions with no restrictions.
*Support Joe Biden policies to the letter.
*Both support reparations from white American citizens.
*De-fund the Police, Democrats.
*Taxpayer funds used for illegal aliens including college, welfare, medical.
*Both support early release, no bail releases.
*Packing the USSC.
*Ending the filibuster.
*Both support Gun control.
*Biden’s tax increases. Student Loan Forgiveness (CBO score 400 billion tax over 10 years) Inflation Recovery Act (CBO score 80 billion tax over 10 years.) There wasn’t inflation until the Biden took office.
*Demings votes with Biden over 93% of the time.
Val Demings campaign is financially supported by socialist George Soros. Some others Soros has funded are Raphal Warnock, Rep Ilhan Abdullahi Omar MN, Rep Rashida Tlaib MI, Rep Alexandra Ocasio- Cortez NY, and Beto O’Rourke. Soros has his sights set on Florida.

DeSantis by 20. America’s Gov. All because Broward didn’t manage to cheat enough in 2018 to elect a drug addict pervert who was having liaisons with a male prostitute behind his wife’s back.
Biden and Covid and death jab vaxx have laid waste to blue states, and real Americans have voted with their feet and mortgages and turned Florida bright red.
Ya know that perfume “Charlie”? Charlie the Grifter can’t apply enough Charlie perfume to cover up his stank.
