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.

Proper comparison is between this poll and the most recent poll from this (rather dubious) outfit, which had DeSantis +10/+12. Falling from +10/+12 to +8/+9, in your own internals? Not good!

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.

The House is gone for the Ds, if this is true, the Senate is a tossup, make sense though Biden is a 46 to 50 and we lost FL in 2018(20

[wbrocks67]

I'm more curious about Independents. I know they are FL Independents, but given the state of FL right now, I'd kinda be surprised if he's still above 50%+ with them

[TodayJunior]

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

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Wave insurance doesn't happen until the yr of the election, but let's wait until 2022 and see how these states progress after 2021 Results are in, Crist, Fink, Ryan, Beaskey and Demings shouldn't be underestimated

[SnowLabrador]

It's absolutely despicable that DeSantis is still favored after everything he's doing to kill his own constituents.

A wave doesn't happen a yr prior to the Election no ways, in 2018 we won 33H seats in 2018 not 2017 wait til next yr

Anyways FL is probably the last ti flip in the wave insurance, Ryan, Beasley would win before Crist and Demings in FL, it's the 55th seat, OH, NC are the 53/54th sest, due to no incumbents

That was something called "The Listener Group," which is a different GOP-aligned pollster — they're out of Pensacola and have no(?) track record whatsoever.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's a 304 map until next yr, wave insurance seats come in the Summer of the yr of the Election when it's a referendum on the incumbent

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Unfortunately, it looks like Florida will re-elect this moron, but I'd love to see him go down. It's one thing to be against basic protections and mandates, but it's another to actively forbid businesses and local municipalities from protecting their residents.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

DeSantis isn't losing to a 65 yr old man unless it's Biden due to the 304 EC map, FL likes DeSantis

I think it's still possible for DeSantis to lose. I wouldn't say it's likely, but he's doing enough now to warrant some skepticism of the whole 'invincible' narrative.

You don’t have to objectively perform well to perform well electorally.

He was never “invincible”, and he’s smart enough to know that. There are very few swing voters here, but the GOP is better at turning out their side. If he were to give one inch to the “narrative” as he calls it, he’s burnt toast. He’s boxed himself in on his own “anti-narrative” which is why ultimately if he wins this race, it will be decided by 3% or less. Bank on it.

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

FL is wave insurance and you can't predict an election 500 days away

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