Desantis flaming out: -19 in recent FL approval

[Couchpotato]

As well as anyone that is not a hate filled bigot.

Thus you are not irritated.

Too bad it wasnt a bill about not saying gay huh?

DeSantis is putting his presidential ambitions above the needs of the state.

His petty antics and obsession with Disney is hurting him with voters

Exactly. Floridians who think he's doing a good job as governor have to be annoyed that he got the legislature to change the laws just for him to be able to run for president and keep the Governor's mansion.

All decent people like his "don't groom our kids who we entrust to you for education" law, but those who fall for the "don't say gay" talking point will endlessly whine about it.

People who don't like Disney's grooming will stay away in droves, but weaponizing government against a differing viewpoint is a Democrat trick that DeSantis should have avoided.

Its impact on schools is exactly that

It is just the nickname for the bill, sort of like the The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is called ObamaCare even though those words are not in the bill.

Like Gore he will lose his own state.

Florida has never produced a President. Definitely won't happen this go round.

It is just the nickname for the bill, sort of like the The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is called ObamaCare even though those words are not in the bill.

But the bill isnt about people not being able to "say gay". You're tracking that right?

Looks like instead of winning over more people in his trek to become President he is alienating people as they watch his bumbling. Desantis is already unlikeable and now has a record of championing highly unpopular legislation. Looks like the GOP is all Trump’s if he stays out of jail.

Most Floridians Disapprove of State's Direction, DeSantis' Approval Rating Drops by 19 Points in New Poll

Is the Sunshine State barreling down the wrong track? After the 2023 Legislative Session, a significant majority of the state’s electorate believes this to be true.

Before this spring’s state legislative session, a majority of Floridians believed the state was on the right track (46% right track / 42% wrong track). As the session came to a close, however, 50% believe the state is headed in the wrong direction, while only 42% think it’s on the right track.

Pollsters Florida Watch and Progress Florida, collectively known as the Florida Communications and Research Hub (Hub), attribute this shift in their surveys to Floridians’ growing dissatisfaction with the agenda carried out by Gov. Ron DeSantis and legislators in Tallahassee.

“When we look back on this legislative session, it is clear Floridians do not believe that Gov. DeSantis and legislative leaders focused on the priorities they believed would improve their lives,” said Progress Florida Executive Director Mark Ferrulo.

By the time this is all over the Republicans are probably going to have to go with a Pence/Christie ticket.

Not specifically it isnt. The jaywalking law makes it illegal for gay people to jaywalk but it's not targeting gay jaywalkers.

A poll is a poll and this time it can be trusted.

When a poll is done by a Leftest progressive organization how in the hell can you trust it? You think they have an agenda or what?

They cite 3,000 voters. Who did they poll? Where was it taken? How representative was it? What questions did they ask? What did they omit from the results?

Nobody polled me.

"Nobody polled me."

Maybe you have an agenda or give off bad juju.

Why do both of America's pol parties get trapped into putting up losers for pres?

This is an example of why China has found another system that ensures they put the smartest into positions of power.

America needs to find a way to change the president into just a figurehead for waving flags at and possibly praying to.

That "don't say gay" thingy irritates the hell out of leftists

And appropriately so.

That rightists aren’t irritated is the problem.

You leftists just can't understand why parents of k-third grades don't want their children to be exposed to the garbage

Now you blabbering dumb fck go and actually read the bill

This poll is a valid poll.

The bill never said don't say gay. You fell right into that one

‘In its preamble, the bill’s authors write that their aim is to prohibit “classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity.”’

Here's what Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill would do, and what it wouldn't do

Legal experts dissect whether the bill would prevent the “instruction” or “discussion” of sexual orientation and gender identity and which grade levels would be affected.

Don’t say gay.

DeSantis is running to the right of Trump
Trying to convince GOP voters that he is a more stable option.

But he refuses to hit Trump where he will be hurt the most.

That he is a LOSER who will lose again in 2024

And that tactic may not work.

American presidential politics is a strange thing, often having nothing to do with policy positions and everything to do with the intangible ‘are you excited’ about this candidate.

There’s no excitement for DeSantis.

 

[rightwinger]

By the time this is all over the Republicans are probably going to have to go with a Pence/Christie ticket.

That is why they keep running even though the polls say they don’t have a chance

As already correctly noted: that hateful rightwing bigots support attacking gay and transgender Americans, such as the Don’t Say Gay legislation, is the problem.
