Gov. Ron DeSantis’ strong numbers with Republicans give him an overall positive favorability rating in a new poll from the University of North Florida.
But despite his appeal to voters inside his own party, he’s still not above 50% overall in the survey of 871 registered voters conducted earlier this month.
DeSantis has 48% approval against 43% disapproval, and key to that performance is GOP support.
Only 9% of Republicans disapprove of the Governor, while 86% approve of him.
However, he’s a tougher sell to independent and no-party voters. Of that group, 46% disapprove of the second-term Republican, while just 39% approve.
Predictably, Democrats are also down on DeSantis. Just 7% approve of him, while 82% disapprove.
Luckily for DeSantis and his overall approval rating, there are more than a million more Republicans than Democrats in the state, and the poll’s R+11 composition reflects that.
On other splits, including gender and education, DeSantis’ performance is typical of Republicans.
In terms of demographics, he’s most popular with men (56% approval), White voters (53%), and non-college voters (50%). And in terms of age groups, DeSantis does best with voters between 35 and 44 years of age, with 58% approval.
Meanwhile, only 45% of college educated votes, 42% of women and 19% of Black voters approve of DeSantis.
The survey was in the field between Feb. 5 and Feb 14.

Demos can’t stand a hugely popular Governor. They would still vote for the drug snorting and male prostitute chasing Gillum. Hilarious.

You think 48% makes him “hugely popular” — hey, I’ve got a bridge near Brooklyn that I want to sell to you for 52% off! That’s right, you’ll get a hugely large discount and pay only 48% of its actual value!
Trust me, I’m a dog. Man’s best friend.

So 43% of Floridians are complete morons…. Go live in any blue state for a year as a penalty then you will see what an amazing job DeSantis and the FL GOP are doing. No income tax, top-rated public schools, good infrastructure, police that protect, a strong local economy….
