TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has one of the highest disapproval ratings among U.S. governors, a national survey from Morning Consult found.
Morning Consult tracked three months’ worth of survey data from about 9,000 voters.
The Florida Republican’s 44% disapproval rating ties him for third place, coming in just short of Oregon Democrat Tina Kotek (45%) and Iowa Republican Kim Reynolds (47%), who endorsed DeSantis for president during the GOP primaries.
Floridians are divided over their support for DeSantis, with 51% saying they approve of what he’s done since winning the 2018 gubernatorial election, according to the survey results. That means just 5% of Florida voters are undecided.
The survey found DeSantis has the highest approval rating among Republicans nationwide (84%), over every other GOP governor.
