Wages are at record highs – as are current job opportunities across the state.Additionally, he’s made significant progress on environmental policies and is in the mist of overhauling Florida’s curriculum.And it’s been noticed by Floridians. Polls universally show Governor DeSantis in a positive light but the Morning Consult Political Intelligence surveying goes the furthest tracking over 5,000 voters quarterly to gauge an average overtime. What we see is Governor DeSantis now has the 7th highest net approval rating in the country, at +36% and is the top ranked large state governor having passed Texas’s Greg Abbott. Interestingly, the top ten approved of governors are all Republicans. The news is also positive for Senators Rubio and Scott. Here are their ratings...

  • Rubio: +15%
  • Scott: +11%
