Is Florida turning against DeSantis?

[Oompa Loompa]

If you'd read the article linked to in the op you would have read this:

'A landline poll of likely voters from The Listener Group in June of 2021 showed DeSantis with a nearly double-digit lead over all potential Democratic opponents'.

Compare that double-digit lead to the figures you just posted and tell me which way the wind is blowing.

The wind is blowing towards DeSantis

The lack of compassion is the whole point for his fervent supporters. It would not surprise me that his latest stunt was highly damaging to his reputation among the growing Venezuelan population in Florida.

I'm hoping people see through his veiled pandering and dog whistles to bigots and realize its a deflection from addressing real policies.


Charlie Christ is a likable person and like Biden he has been a centrist focused on majoritarian politics rather than wedge issues.

What was worse, DeSantis sending them to Martha's Vinyard, or Martha's Vinyard, after some virtue signaling, getting rid of them asap?

 

[Oompa Loompa]

The bottom line is simple. There are only two things keeping the Democratic Party from collapsing. Their unified hatred of Trump, and killing unborn babies. If DeSantis is loosing support, it is likely because of Democrats trying to make him out to be another Trump and using Handmaids Tail fear mongering.

He lost over half his lead and you think that's an improvement?

If DeSantis is loosing support...

If?

They didn't just "get rid of them". Martha's Vineyard doesn't have the facilities to deal with a large influx of people.

Lost half his lead according to whom?

It was only 50 people and all those super rich bleeding heart libs wouldn't take them into their massive estates in a million years. That was the whole point. They don't want them either.

Do I sense resentment? There are plenty of massive estates in Florida and Texas....

They're not the ones doing all the virtue signaling for open borders. Folks in places like Martha's Vinyard do that, because they know places like Texas and Florida will the ones having to actually deal with it. DeSantis just gave them teeny tiny taste of it.

Look, DeSantis was the one trafficking people from Texas into Florida to fly them to Martha's Vineyard. They didn't just show up in Florida.

The first for sure.

Tiny MV probably isnt equipped to provide for them, nor did MV lie them into some self serving stunt.

The permanent residents are not super rich. They do not have the resources needed and so they helped generously until these people dumped by Desantis could be move to a location that does have the resources.

50 people is a large influx?

What’s happening in border towns where thousands are showing up daily?

OK, we'll use your choice: The Listerner Group. Can't be fairer than that. And from the article:

'After months in the lead, DeSantis trails Crist by 6 points in a poll by The Political Matrix and The Listener Group.'

Your link shows the position from over a year ago. Which was the point of the article - the loss of support over the last 12 months.

it is not my choice, it was the source material for the article. just wanted to see the facts not the interpretation.
the date on the article is suspect. it is from june 21 and june 22, that was 3 month ago. so, no other major poll has that kind of gap. that is why I posted the other polls so you can compare.

no major, poll has Desantis down loosing. he has at least a 4 point lead.

How many of them are housing illegal immigrants?

Excuses excuses.

Last night Colbert joked that people who were trying to escape the storm's path should contact DeSantis to tell him that they were from Venezuela so that he would fly them to safety on Martha's Vineyard on a private plane.
