Florida Gov. Rick Scott's approval rating has reached a new low, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. A survey of 1,196 registered Florida voters conducted from May 17–23 showed that 57 percent disapprove of the job the new governor is doing; only 29 percent approve. In a similar survey April 6, Scott drew a 48–35 percent disapproval rating.
Scott's score is the worst of any governor in the states surveyed.
Voters also are displeased with the Florida Legislature, which ended its annual 60-day session in early May. Poll participants gave lawmakers a nearly identical rating to that of the governor: a disapproval rating of 56–27 percent, compared to 47–35 percent in April.
