Poll Shows Gaetz With 21% Approval Rating In Florida

The Pensacola News Journal reports:

A new poll shows U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz is a polarizing figure in Florida, both in and outside of the Republican Party. A poll from the Florida Atlantic University Mainstreet PolCom Lab released last week showed that 57% of Florida voters disapproved of Gaetz’s performance as a member of Congress.

The poll said only 21% of voters approved of Gaetz’s performance, while 8% were neutral and 14% didn’t know. While Gaetz has repeatedly proven he is unbeatable in the Panhandle, the poll shows that in a statewide race, Gaetz would have a lot of work to do to win people over — not just with independents, but his own party too.

In the fall, NBC News reported Gaetz was considering a run for governor, but Gaetz has repeatedly said he doesn’t plan on running for the office.
