Back in November of 2022, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was reelected by a wide margin:
DeSantis, 44, was winning by nearly 19 percentage points over Democratic Rep. Charlie Crist, himself a former Republican Florida governor. That margin was the largest since 1982 when popular incumbent Democratic Gov. Bob Graham was re-elected by 29 points.
DeSantis won a convincing victory and was comfortably ahead in 62 of Florida’s 67 counties – including winning reliably blue Miami-Dade, the state’s most-populous, by 11 points. He was the first Republican gubernatorial candidate to do so in 20 years.
That would indicate that Florida voters approved overwhelmingly of DeSantis' performance as governor, but you can always count on the media to try and manufacture some extra talking points for Democrats. This poll is one of those efforts:

Really? Well, that poll needs some disclaimers. You'd think the best way to poll governors' performances would be to check the approval of voters within their own states, but not this time:
A national poll that included pinheads in NY and CA?!? HAHAHA.

So sick of ridiculous “journalism”. You should be ashamed.
If only so much of the media were capable of that emotion.
He won by 20%!

Considering "journalism" these days none of this is surprising.
Of course the last paragraph. pic.twitter.com/jVABMR1zQn

Also, we don’t hate the press enough. https://t.co/wPsHmr5HU6 pic.twitter.com/hrGawY8bzr
Of course they saved that part for the end of the article.
These losers really posted a national survey. 😂

Media is so trash https://t.co/Ji9MERK3dt
Reminder: DeSantis did the beat-down on a News Channel 8 reporter regarding a stupid question he asked the governor. So more payback by our NBC affiliate. https://t.co/NRB72Aju3h

This is like asking Texans what they think of Gretchen Whitmer.

We'll now wait for the national polls about Gavin Newsom including people in Florida and Oklahoma.
