POLL: GOP Voter SURGE Has Democrats Panicking. Florida Moves Hard Red.
Good news for Republicans: according to Florida state data on voter registration in the month of December, 29 percent of new voters registered as Democrats, 34 percent registered as Republicans, and 37 percent registered as NPA – for a total of 50,733 total voter registrations in Florida. Total state voter registrations show 37 percent are Democrats, 35 percent are Republicans and 28 percent are NPAs.
This is a huge boost for Republicans, and bucks a trend in many other places that have more Democrats registering to vote than Republicans. It also almost ensures that President Trump will maintain his support in the sunshine state. And a poll released this week also backs that up.
The poll has him crushing every democrat front runner in a hypothetical election. The poll shows head to head races with each democratic opponent and Donald Trump, with Trump winning in each lineup.
The same poll also showed that a large bulk of the sunshine state are completely behind the President in the impeachment trials.
Also good news for republicans, Governor Desantis has an incredible 68% approval rating, with only 18% disapproving of him.
For impeachment, 52% strongly disapprove of the President being removed from office, and only 43% approve.
“Floridians are confident in Governor DeSantis and, while they’re concerned about healthcare costs and workforce quality, support his efforts to help keep Florida moving in the right direction and champion solutions,” said Mark Wilson, President and CEO, Florida Chamber of Commerce.
These are all of the results from the Florida poll:
