Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' approval rating tumbled to 43.7 percent in a new poll published on Wednesday, as the state grapples with a surge in cases of COVID driven by the highly transmissible Delta variant.
The survey from St. Pete Polls was conducted on August 2-3 and it shows the Republican governor losing re-election in a hypothetical matchup with Representative Charlie Crist, a Democrat who represents Florida's 13th congressional district.
quote:
That’s a big step up for Crist who, in previous polls, was trailing DeSantis by as much as double digits.
If you look at the poll itself, respondents favored a mask mandate in schools; support was over 60% of people polled.

Gov. Newsome’s numbers aren’t real hot either, and he may lose the recall. He’s no Moonbeam, that’s for sure.
That said, he’s the first Gov. to require that all teachers get vaccinated or face weekly tests for Covid. I’d prefer daily tests myself, paid for by the teacher, but it’s a start.
