DeSantis Approval Slips to 50% in New Mason-Dixon Florida Poll

Pollsters tie the dip to national GOP headwinds plus typical second-term fatigue.

Overview

  • The survey finds 50% of Florida voters approve of the governor’s performance and 46% disapprove, with 4% unsure.
  • His approval is down from 53% in March 2025 as net favorability narrowed from +11 to +4, his second-weakest showing in Mason-Dixon data since taking office.
  • Support declined over the past year among independents (51% to 41%), Hispanics (57% to 49%), and Black voters (16% to 7%), with Black voters now 84% disapproving.
  • Partisan views are sharply split, with 86% of Republicans approving and 87% of Democrats disapproving, and he is stronger with men (56% approve) than women (45% approve, 49% disapprove).
  • Mason-Dixon surveyed 625 registered voters by phone Jan. 8–12, reporting a ±4 percentage point margin of error and noting wider uncertainty for subgroup estimates.
