Ron DeSantis has worse favorable ratings than Bob Iger in national poll
Floridapolitics ^ | April 10, 2024 | A.G. Gancarski

Posted on 04/12/2024 3:56:08 PM PDT by backpacker_c

In a YouGov survey of 1,795 adult citizens conducted between Apr. 6 and Apr. 9, Iger is at -9 net, with 15% viewing him favorably and 24% unfavorably.

Meanwhile, DeSantis is better known, but at least for some respondents, familiarity breeds contempt. The second-term Republican stands at -13 net; 34% view him favorably, with 47% regarding him unfavorably.

DeSantis is in negative territory with most age, gender and racial cohorts, with only respondents 65 years of age and older regarding him favorably, albeit by a slender 48% to 44% spread.

When was he “never-Trump”? He said he would vote for the Republican nominee, and he’s already endorsed Trump.

“The more people know desanctimonious, the more they dislike him - he’s not winning any general election with those numbers...”

To me, he’s doing a good job since he returned to Florida. But he’s now learning that siding with the NeverTrumpers is not something that one can simply ‘put in the past’ and expect all to be forgive, especially considering that by playing the NeverTrumper role, he pissed off 80% of the Republican base.

What “bad things” did he want to do to the US? Does that even make sense to you that a person who does good things for a state wouldn’t want to do good things for the nation?

Do you want to know why I don't like Ron DeSantis? I don't like him first of all, because he outright lied to the people of Florida when he declared he would complete his second term. He knew when he ran for re-election, that he already had plans to run for President, but he needed the Governor's office to step off from. You don't just decide to run for President the night before you announce your campaign. Those kinds of plans take months to put together. Why do you think that Trump was picking on DeSantis so early in 2023? People were saying: "Why is Trump going after DeSantis? He hasn't even announced that he's running. But Trump knew.

On May 24, 2023, less than five months into his second term, he announced his run for President. Not long before that, he used his party's majority in the Florida State Legislature, to change the Resign-to-Run Bill, so he wouldn't have to leave office to run for President. On the day he announced his candidacy, he signed that Bill into law.

The only other Florida Governor who had that law changed to benefit himself was ex-Rino, now RAT Charlie Crist. Crist thought he was in the running to be McCain's running mate, but he never got the call. Did he bother to have the law changed back to its original state? Of course he didn't. It wasn't until Rick Scott became Governor, that he had the State Legislature change the law back to its original wording. Then along comes Ron, and the law is changed again, to suit his needs. DeSantis helped himself politically, and monetarily by getting that law changed. Had he not had the Republican majority in the State Legislature to rely on, he never would have taken the dive to run, if it meant he'd have to resign.

I don't care what party you are from, you don't use your party's majority to personally enhance yourself. DeSantis certainly did that. The other thing that DeSantis did was get parts of Florida's Sunshine Laws changed, specifically the part that deals with transparency of his travels, who he meets with, etc. Prior to the change, all the Governor's travel and meeting records were available for public scrutiny. Now there is no transparency whatsoever.

"He is."

That'll help him when he can't run for re-election for a third term. Or maybe he'll get the State Legislature to change that law for him too, like he did the "Resign-to-Run" law.

I live in SW Florida and its obvious he’s really trying to rehab his image. I won’t vote for him again. He didn’t lose my vote for his actions in office, it was where his money to run his campaign came from and his association with those Uni Party Rinos.

“I don't like him (DeSantis) first of all, because he outright lied to the people of Florida when he declared he would complete his second term.”

That is not what happened.

In his October 24, 2022 televised debate with Democrat Charlie Crist DeSantis refused to commit to serving four full additional years as governor, in effect telegraphing his possible run for national office. Crist made a big deal over this - perhaps bigger than you are making now.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/24/politics/florida-governor-debate-takeaways-desantis-crist/index.html

Floridians were fine with that - 60 percent voted to re-elect him governor with the understanding he might run for president.

Keep in mind when DeSantis telegraphed in 2022 his intention to possibly seek the presidency in 2024 Trump was not only not the president, he was not even an official candidate for the presidency (that did not happen later).

If you were to find that candidate Trump is accepting campaign money from uni party Rinos would you turn on him the way you have turned on DeSantis?
