New Florida polling shows Ron DeSantis out of favor with voters in the state, a stunning shift in the year since his successful re-election.
The Cygnal poll of 800 likely General Election voters, reported first by Florida Politics, reveals the Florida Governor is at 50% disapproval against 47% approval.
Though 85% of Republican registrants and 87% of those who voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election still regard the Governor favorably in the poll conducted Nov. 11 — 13, other sub-groups have soured on DeSantis early in his second term.
He does worst among two demographics of women. Among those 55 or older, he has 58% disapproval. And among women who have attended college, he has a 61% unfavorable rating.
Regionally, he’s underwater in Orlando, Tampa, and South Florida, though those showings are ameliorated by 54% approval in North Florida.
The poll shows DeSantis, who tells people on the presidential campaign trail he’s best positioned to win a General Election against Joe Biden, has lost independent voters, with 58% of that cohort viewing DeSantis negatively.
He’s also failing to appeal to urban or suburban voters, with 58% disapproval among the former and 55% among the latter group. Among voters in small towns, however, he does enjoy a 56% approval rating.
Unfortunately for DeSantis, the Cygnal poll doesn’t appear to be an outlier.
A survey released this month by Florida Atlantic University didn’t go so far as showing DeSantis underwater, but it did show him barely afloat, with 50% approval against 49% disapproval.

Newsgrunt out of Florida: Poll shows that most Republicans here think Ron DeSantis is doing a wonderful job, and would enjoy nothing more than having him over for Thanksgiving dinner and listening to his keen, insightful, witty banter. That, or get a colonoscopy while fully conscious. It’s a toss-up.
Strange people. Very anal.

Good afternoon Patriots
Relax your sphincter’s,
The Cygnal and FAU polling operations are both 💩 4 🧠’ leftist controlled and as such totally meaningless.
Again, relax your sphincter’s, my Patriots we got this.

Florida’s Republicans want Rhonda Dee Santis presidential campaign to fail . At that, Rhonda is indeed doing a wonderful job. Failing and flailing.

Nobody cares about “WOKE” except the drooling knuckle-draggers among us. People care about being able to afford their lives, keep a roof over their head, and actually be able to buy insurance for their homes.
DeSantis has been a miserable failure on everything that actually matters to most people while going “All-In” on garbage that nobody cares about.

You sound like a Chris Cristie supporter. LOL Woke has been the foundation of the Republican party for decades. They used to say it was being politically correct. Now they call it woke because it’s got an ethinic flair to it that is a dog whistle to their ‘proud to be white’ followers.

He is a horrible Governor. He has done nothing for this state except come up with these idiotic pieces of legislation that he and his wife cooked up for the shock factor and his political aspirations. I certainly didn’t vote for him ever. He is destroying this state with his do nothing plans to fix anything here a typical Republican all they can do is complain about everything.. A true dissappointment. The personality of a slug!

Good Morn ‘ting Sonja,
It would behoove you to practice mentally getting used to our reality-based future. Luckily for you and any other DeSantis deniers out there you have me, Earl Pitts American, to help you all in the mental preparation of a reality-based future.
I totally understand how fun it has been for you and all the leftists in Our Great Nation to be the cute counter-culture bra-burners of the ’60’s having grown old now to be the abortion marchers and Israeli haters of today (and yes I know you are an American Jewish Democrat).
So girl, you and others like you are carrying a lot of baggage, what with being responsible [by your vote] for your Democratic Leadership’s part in enabling Iran to fund the HAMAS slaughter of the Israeli Jews in the Kibbutz which your Democratic support over the years enabled by the appeasement of Iran.
Anyway I, Earl Pitts American, have been working with our Lord And Savior, The Son of God, on the way, the truth, and the light to bring you and the many “Lost Sheep” like you back into the fold of Salvation and the good grace’s of our Lord.
So keep the faith girl; in Christ there is forgiveness and Redemption; even as that thief on the cross with The Son of God joined our Lord on that fateful day in Paradise.
Thank you my dear, while your leftist friends care nothing about saving your soul from the 🔥 of eternal damnation, Earl cares,
Earl Pitts American

Thank you Ned for your desperate cry for help which I, Earl Pitts American, am “Locked And Loaded With The Full Armor of The Lord God Almighty in Heaven Above” 100% qualified to serve you with.
Ned, I’ve had so many “Lost Sheep” like you reaching out by “Blowing My Phone Up” the best I, Earl Pitts American, can do to assist your mournful cry for help, Ned, is to refer you to the instructions for Redemption provided to Dr. BOB (below).
And Ned in all the places where I addressed “Dr. Bob” just mentally remove his name and mentally insert your own name “Ned Beatty”.

Thanks Dr. Bob for reaching out for help,
Rejoice in the fact you too are eligible for the sweet Redemption being offered to Sonja.
A couple of Doctor specific concerns:
1.) Redemption IS offered for your genital mutation of children. (Be sure to get Redemption before midnight tonight to take advantage of this fabulous early Redemption offer).
2.) Doctors receive even more suffering in the “eternal bad place” due to having relieved human pain and suffering (which the 👿 does not approve of) while the Doctor was still alive here on Earth.
So to sum it up: Dr. Bob it is of vital importance that you “Turn before you 🔥 burn.
Again thanks for reaching out, Dr. Bob as you know “A Soul Is A Terrible Thing To Waste”

People in Florida think that our state has been an afterthought for the past year and Governor Pudding Fingers has ignored our state problems like property and flood insurance crisis and crazy high rents and inflation while whisking away to every county in Iowa on his flailing campaign.

Rhonda and Tacky O need to reboot their campaign from being WalMart centered. Their most like path forward is to focus on the DeSantis Level Discerning Dollar General shoppers and employees.
