Gov. Rick Scott’s job approval numbers hit a new low and he is currently the most unpopular governor in America, according to a just-released Public Policy Poll.
Only 26 percent of Florida voters now approve of Scott’s job performance while 58 percent disapprove. His previous worst numbers were in June when he had a 33 percent approval rating, with 59 percent unhappy with his performance.
While Scott’s numbers remain pretty much unchanged, even Republicans are starting to really sour on his leadership. In June Scott had a 63/30 approval spread with them. That’s now dropped all the way down to 46/31.
As it turns out, Scott is the most unpopular Governor in the country in PPP’s polling.
According to the poll, Scott would lose a hypothetical rematch with Alex Sink 53-37. 21% of Republicans say they’d choose Sink before they would vote for Scott again, and she has a 48-36 advantage with independent voters as well.
Moreover, if Charlie Christ decided to change parties and challenge Scott, he would be in even more trouble, the poll found. Crist, running as a Democrat, would crush Scott 55-32. In a hypothetical head to head Crist gets 25% of the Republican vote and wins independents by a 52-32 margin.
Crist remains the most popular politician in the state with 48 percent of voters holding a favorable opinion of him to just 33 percent with a negative one.
