Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to weather the storm politically in Florida, maintaining overall favorability above 50%.
According to a survey of 860 likely voters conducted by Emerson College between Oct. 18 and Oct. 20, the second-term Republican has 51% approval against 41% disapproval, showing a durable mandate even as his time in Tallahassee is running out.
The Governor is largely defined along partisan lines, a meaningful metric in a poll with more than an R+7 sample.
The survey found 93% of DeSantis supporters disapprove of President Joe Biden, seemingly in spite of the Governor’s recent appreciation for the White House’s response to Hurricane Milton. Among those who disapprove of DeSantis, 73% approve of Biden.
However, the poll points to potential crossover voters, who like DeSantis but will vote for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell over U.S. Sen. Rick Scott.
When respondents are forced to choose between the major candidates, 8% of those who like the Governor say they will vote for the Vice President, who DeSantis has called a “vapid San Francisco liberal” and “impeachment insurance” for Biden. And 9% of DeSantis haters will support Trump in this year’s election.
Similarly, 10% of DeSantis fans will vote for the Democratic Senate challenger, while 7% of the anti-DeSantis contingent will cast ballots for Scott.
Meanwhile, the Governor is up slightly with independents, with 45% approval and 43% disapproval.

We’ll see how he fares as his current Amendment 4 media-censorship scandal plays out… A short lil guv like Tiny D is always in danger of going underwater.

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

Poor Dee is worn out from his hurricane(s) duty and forgot his velvet glove when it comes to the right of the people to make electoral decisions for themselves.
Proof positive, for all time, the guy is an authoritarian — the anteroom to single-party rule.

Trump-brand fascism is marked by “obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood.”
No ideas or plans but prejudices and transactional alteration of goals: Today I hate EVs, tomorrow I love them because the world’s richest man convinced me it was the correct path forward.

51 percent is not exactly a groundswell. He actually acted like a governor for a change during the hurricanes, but the rest of his administration has been disappointing.

Dee was bullied at home, which is why his parents make no public appearances.
