Chamber poll: Floridians still high on DeSantis, but not Biden

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign may be struggling to gain traction, but Florida voters still think he’s doing a good job running the Sunshine State.

According to a Florida Chamber of Commerce poll, 51% of voters approve of the job DeSantis is doing as Governor, including 85% of Republicans and 59% of no-party voters. The second-term Republican also boasts strong support among Hispanic voters, 55% of whom say he’s doing a good job.

The numbers align with other polls commissioned by the Chamber this year — DeSantis has long been above the 50% mark in approval measures. However, Floridians do not hold the man he hopes to replace in the Oval Office in high regard.

The same voters were asked their views on President Joe Biden and 56% of voters said they disapproved of the job he’s doing in D.C. His detractors include nearly nine in 10 Republicans (89%) and nearly two-thirds of no-party voters (65%). The President has an approval rating of only 37% among Hispanic voters, with 62% disapproving of his performance.
