Rather than being behind Crist, the Chamber poll shows DeSantis ahead 51% to 43%, with an approval rating of 54% among all poll participants as opposed to 43.7% in the St. Pete Poll.

The poll also showed DeSantis’ lead over Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, increased from 3.3% in the St. Pete Poll to 9% in the Chamber poll.

According to the Florida Chamber, the poll was “conducted on July 26 through August 4, 2021 by Cherry Communications during live telephone interviews of likely voters, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent. The sample size included 236 Democrats, 248 Republicans and 126 others for a total of 610 respondents statewide.”

In addition, the press release inidcates DeSantis’ approval rating is largely due to the support of 87% of Republicans and 52% of Non-Party Affiliates (NPA’s) who were surveyed. However, in the St. Pete Poll, only 73% of Republicans and 39.9% of NPA’s supported DeSantis.

PS: If you really believe that DeSantis only has a 73% approval among FLORIDA REPUBLICANS, you should be banned from making election predictions.

DeSantis having an 87% approval rating among Florida Republicans makes significantly more sense, and if anything might be underestimating the real percentage.

I know this is a Chamber of Commerce poll.... but the percentages of support expressed by Republicans in this poll make far more logical sense to anyone with a human brain or basic understanding of electoral politics and modern day polarization.

I will not make the error of pressing the unignore button again, but I just know his reply will consist of unhinged wishcasting as usual.

Wasn't this the same pollster that had DeSantis up 22 against Fried?

Um, no. That was the Listener Group, which is an entirely different pollster.

This can't be good for Democrats in light of how bad the pandemic has gotten in FL.

It's really not that bad though lol.

It really really is though….

So bad in fact there’s this to recall Ron; I’m not surprised though as reality was going to catch up to him sooner than later.

Mate, you are consistently one of the most delusional people on this forum.

You realize that in say, California (a state that actually has a recall system) you need atleast 2 million votes to successfully proceed with a recall? Not 30 or 60 thousand.

A couple dozen thousand or so resist liberals (some of which whom probably do not even live in Florida) throwing a temper tantrum on Change.Org will not affect anything in how Floridian politics works.

Also, the pandemic isn’t that bad in Florida, and the death rate is consistently in the middle of the pack of the states. Outside of partisan Democrats, no one in that state truly seems to give a damn about COVID (I visited Tampa and Miami in February- no one was wearing a mask or anything) It is also worth noting that the Delta spike has been temporary in every nation it has affected and will likely be an afterthought in the future. Even then, let’s not act like Trump didn’t win the state by 4 points in a terrible national environment for him, when the whole nation was being ravaged by COVID. Further proving that mask mandates or any type of COVID restrictions are very unpopular in Florida.
