The final Florida Chamber poll of the 2022 race for Governor shows a commanding lead for incumbent Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis is up 11 points over Democrat Charlie Crist, 53% to 42%. The Governor is especially strong with Hispanic voters, 59% of whom prefer DeSantis. No-party voters also prefer DeSantis, 54% to 37%.
Even female voters are breaking DeSantis’ way in this poll. He’s up by 3 points, despite Democratic messaging that has focused heavily on abortion restrictions passed by the Legislature and signed by DeSantis earlier this year.
DeSantis takes the vast majority of Republican support, with 88% going his way. He also leads in eight out of ten media markets, per the Chamber memo.
Unsurprisingly given the head-to-head matchup, DeSantis has strong favorable numbers in this poll. A full 56% of voters overall, as well as 56% of NPAs, approve of DeSantis’ job performance. Nine out of ten Republicans likewise regard him favorably.
The solid Chamber poll follows an August survey, taken before the Primary Crist won, that showed DeSantis ahead 51% to 43% in the then-hypothetical matchup. DeSantis was just +5 with NPA voters, suggesting that Crist’s adherence to national Democratic messaging may have not helped make the sale.
The Chamber poll tracks with another poll released Wednesday, which actually shows a greater DeSantis advantage than the 11-point lead here. The University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Laboratory poll released Wednesday showed DeSantis routing Crist, 55% to 41%. Overall, the FiveThirtyEight polling average shows DeSantis up 9 points.
The Chamber poll also gives Republican candidates for the Cabinet something to smile about.
Attorney General Ashley Moody is up 15 points over Democratic challenger Aramis Ayala. CFO Jimmy Patronis is up 10 points over Democratic challenger Adam Hattersley. And in the race to succeed Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, Wilton Simpson holds an 11-point lead over Naomi Blemur. If this polling holds, Republicans will control the entire Cabinet again.

Florida is getting it’s tail kicked by shills for the rich and far right grifters. Florida losing many IQ points voting for these empty suits. Even if DeSantis wins he will abandon his post in 2024. Dereliction of duty..

Go on back, to the pasture Charlie ,with the rest of the old Democrats, Ron DeSantis, didn’t answer your question about the the 2024 President election, because it you recall, there was to be no talking between you two, but you must have forgot to take you Menory pills, Baby Killer. We here in Florida are more concerned about higher Inflation, food, living from day to day, trying to decide how to pay our bills, and buy food. The Seniors are on a very fixed income, and we are at the point buy, life saving medication, or food, nutritional foods, not something just to fill us up, 1 meal a day. That isn’t something you would ever have to think about. Illegal Immigrants, we should have to take everyone from all countries coming across our borders here to live better than us, free housing, food, cell phones, schooling. You Democrats in Washington, wanted them, then theyshould go up north to all you Democrats. We in Florida, don’t want all the Drugs here killing our people, and children. You are not a true Floridian, if you are, then prove it. Ron DeSantis is, and served, in the Navy did 2 tours. What did you do, besides run your mouth with lies. If I recall you had your chance her in Florida, and was a crach,N burn Governor. I am a born, and raised true, educated Floridian, Nurse, so you aren’t pulling no wool over my eyes with lies. Ron DeSantis has done more for Florida, in the past 4 years, than, you could ever think of doing. How Educated are you? You won’t say.

Desantis didn’t answer Crist because Desantis knows it’s better to let MAGAs go on defending him rather than admitting he won’t finish a second term. Nothing is stopping him now from clearing up all doubts. How do you explain that one to yourself??
What’s “baby killer” mean??
Seniors on a fixed income? Lol.. Marco and most Senate Republicans, and all House Republicans want to cut your Social Security and sunset it every 5 years— some want to every 1 year!
Imagine that, every year hoping the sadistic clowns renew your payments before you starve or lose your home. And they will use the annual vote as a bargaining chip to cut your Social Security even further.
Republicans also want to send you a $200 medical voucher every year to replace your ‘Socialist” government-run health insurance, Medicare. Democrats passed a law to lower YOUR prescription drugs. Republicans want to repeal it.
Desantis’ “2 tours” were Ron being a lawyer testing urine and prosecuting Court Martial cases. He lawyered at Guantanamo for terrorists too. Desantis was NOT a Navy Seal if that’s what you were imagining.
MAGA ignorance is dangerous.

The only poll I read is the one on election night. Nation wide polls said Trump was going to win over President Biden , You see nobody knows till the people Vote. He’s was in charge when corona virus hit us and he hid deaths, fired the lady telling the truth about never wore a mask, and we lost 70,000 to this virus because of his reckless polices that he instituted. How could any forget the last 2 yrs here in Florida ? He want even help children get health care by not taking the Medicaid Money that Federal Government is offering one of few states that said no. He’s not talking the real issues just ignoring them

wRONg, it is ALL TRUE. Desantis is not even planning to finish a second term if he is re-elected. Why would you vote for someone planning to quit after a couple years?? Florida needs a full time, full term governor.
VOTE FOR CRIST!

Rebekah Jones is a flake. She’s given no evidence to back up her claims. No former colleagues are backing her up. She has legal problems of her own. And countless doctors and scientists have backed up the state’s COVID counting. There was even an investigation that found nothing. Sorry, but eventually Jones needs to provide some evidence. She’s got nothing. No one is on her side other than far-left conspiracy theorists.
Ron DeSantis is a Clown
