Deteriorating support in the state is a troubling sign for Democrats ahead of the 2022 midterms.
President Joe Biden lost Florida to President Donald Trump by more than 3 percentage points in last November’s election. | Evan Vucci/AP PhotoA majority of Florida voters disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job performance, according to a Quinnipiac University pollRoughly 53 percent of respondents gave Biden negative marks, compared with 40 percent who approved of the president’s performance seven months into his tenure.
Pollsters surveyed 889 voters between Aug. 17 and 21, a span in which the Biden administration was facing some of its fiercest criticism over its handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the Taliban takeover of the country. It’s the latest in afor Biden recently, after he enjoyed fairly high job ratings in the first six months of his term.
By comparison, public opinion on Gov. Ron DeSantis was split 47-45 in favor of the Florida Republican, who is up for reelection in 2022. Only 2 percent of Democrats rated DeSantis’ job performance favorably, while 87 percent of Republican respondents did along with 47 percent of independents, according to Quinnipiac’s poll.
While DeSantis’s handling of coronavirus is a drag on him now, he was in worse shape during last summer’s wave, according to a July 23, 2020,that showed only 38 percent approved of the way he managed the pandemic at the time while 57 percent disapproved. That put his net approval at -11 percentage points last year, more than double what it is now — even though cases, hospitalizations and deaths are exceeding the last wave’s numbers in Florida overall.
