Rick Scott's voter purge backfires on him

[azmouse]

Don'tcha just love it!

Quote:Holy backfire, Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s attempt to purge the voting roles in Florida is not only wildly unpopular. It is also helping to solidify Obama’s lead in the state.

According to Public Policy Polling, 50% of Floridians disapprove of Rick Scott’s attempt to purge votes, with only 34% approving. Believe it or not, Rick has actually gotten less popular due to his plan to suppress the vote. Scott’s approval rating has sunk to 31%. His disapproval rating is at 56%.

More importantly, Scott’s scheme seems to have destroyed any momentum that Mitt Romney was gaining in the Sunshine State. Romney has been able to make up one point on Obama since April. The president has gone from a 50%-45% lead to a 50%-46% lead. While Florida registered voters are split on Obama 49%-46%, the still don’t like Romney. The Republican nominee has an upside down 39%/53% approval rating in the state.

Oh gosh, look at the demographics. 51% men, 70% white, 41% conservative, 33% over 65. I don't think that matches the voting demographic for Florida, does it? If they skew the demographics this much and still have such good numbers for Obama, Florida is in great shape for November.

This is good to see. He is driving away the people he wanted to make happy.

Any time that Rick Scott does anything that reminds the public he's the governor, his poll numbers go down.

He's lucky that Florida doesn't have a recall, because, difficult as recalls are, I believe that Scott would be recalled.

Plus, I think Floridians really do understand our rather odd elections system and just don't want to hear about another mess with it.
