The DeSantis brand, battered by constant attacks and political miscalculations, is looking a bit better.

A Florida Atlantic University poll released Thursday found Gov. Ron DeSantis’ approval among the state’s voters has ticked up and disapproval has gone down.

In the latest survey, 54% of Florida voters approve and 40% disapprove of the way DeSantis is handling his job of government. That’s a net positive of 14 percentage points.

When FAU asked voters the same question in November, 50% approved and 49% disapproved, a net positive of just 1 percentage point.

However, with low property taxes and no state taxes, financially we are better. Politically, Ethically and morally is certainly a different story. We have a great chance in November to change our state.
