Rick Scott: The most unpopular politician in Florida? - The Fix - The Washington Post

Q poll: Rick Scott even more unpopular -- 57 percent disapprove | Naked Politics

Do you need more? Does the "T" stand for Terribly Slow?

Psssttt...

You know who's more unpopular in FL?

The democratic he defeated.

(maybe you should take a look at the Klappenbagger threads and see what assuming populist support for leftists wins in the voting booth?)

Last I heard, Scott had a 29% approval rating.

He must be doing something right then. Seems when politicians have good ratings they are just sitting around with their thumbs up their asses but when they have had popularity its because they are changing things and people don't like it even though its what he said he was going to do in his campaign.

Florida's Unpopular Governor Could Hinder GOP In 2012 : NPR

We all know that Florida is a key state in Presidential elections.

The Big O isn't doing too well either in Florida.

The Associated Press: 2012 troubles ahead for Obama in prized Florida?

Regardless of how well liked or unliked Scott is, it will have no bearing on who the state elects for president. Every presidential election it is common for a president from one party and a governor from the other to both get elected in the same state.

And yet President Obama's approval rating in the state is 51%...

Let's see...who is likely to fare better, the guy that Governor Scott (with his 29% approval rating) is supporting, or President Obama?

Not true, unless something has changed since March, where a poll showed Sink would defeat Scott by almost 20 points in a rematch.

You're free to cite all of that if it makes you feel better, but nobody is going to vote to reelect Obama simply because they don't like Rick Scott. It doesn't work that way. Presidential politics and gubernatorial politics are two different entities entirely. You're also assuming that because he has a shitty approval rating today, that he still will a year and a half from now.

I assure you if we head into the next election with the same economics we have today Obama is toast. It doesn't matter who is opponent is. Presidents don't get reelected with these dynamics.

Yes and no. You're right that people aren't going to vote for Obama because they think Rick Scott is a turd, but it's also questionable to claim Republicans have 2012 in the bag. Obama's approval rating is around 47%. Bush's approval was roughly in the same spot when he was reelected. Also, don't forget the importance of candidates. Romney and T-Paw are very viable threats, but it'll be an uphill climb for the GOP if they nominate Palin or Bachmann.

Until the GOP finds a credible candidate, Obama is not seriously threatened.

 

[JimH52]

The economy is the biggest threat Obama has. But if the GOP keeps throwing damaged goods at him, that might not even be his biggest threat. The tide seems to change from week to week.

obama's war mongering and lying is the DNC's biggest threat. And that is the cold hard facts.

Would according to some inane poll of a few people and did according to the only poll that actually counts are not the same.

Exactly. The GOP seems to have no political rudder, keel, sail, captain, etc. Oh, wait. It must be newt, he just took a cruise

Wow, you've finally figured something out on your own. I'm proud.

The GOP is going to need to get moderates, independents, and a good number of weak democrats to vote for their candidate – that’s the segment of the voting population who elects presidents; they tend to be smart and politically savvy. They know the truth about the economy – the cause for its crash and that recovery will be slow – and will vote accordingly.

That in conjunction with a lot of voters who didn’t bother to vote last year, who voted for Obama in 2008, will be at the polls next year to do the same thing. They’re mostly young and/or minorities and apolitical; they’ll vote for Obama for reasons that drive the right (more) insane.

The proverbial bottom-line is: unless the GOP can find someone who is ‘Obamaesque,’ they’ll fail to win the WH in 2012.

Rick Scott is starting to become more unpopular everyday here, based on my experiences.

Scott won by a hair over Sink to begin with, and with such low approval ratings, it's not a stretch to say he wouldn't remain governor if he was up for re-election in 2012.

Florida isn't a blue or red state-and politicians have to play more to the center here to win. Look at Crist, or J. Bush. They didn't totally cater to the far extreme right, and were pretty popular statewide.

Now how much backlash will Scott make in the presidential election? I think there will be some, not much-but some. And being as Florida is such a swing state-that could have drastic consequences for the GOP.
