Survey shows Governor's approval rating down even as COVID-19 numbers improve

Gov. Ron DeSantis has seen his approval rating fall nearly 20 points since May following a summer surge in COVID-19 cases.

Those metrics on the virus’s have since improved. The Governor’s approval ratings have not, according to the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI).

DeSantis now has a net neutral approval rating, with 43% of voters approving of the Governor and 43% disapproving. That’s a sharp drop from his +19 approval in May, when 51% approved of his job as Governor and only 32% disapproved.

The FAU BEPI findings mirror other surveys in recent months, which show the Governor’s support dropping consistently.
