Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott’s job approval rating has climbed from the high 20’s to the mid 30’s. A Quinnipiac Poll released today shows 35 percent of Florida voters approve of the job Scott’s doing. In May Scott’s job approval rating was 29 percent. Since then Scott has taken steps to improve his image. FSU political science professor Carol Weissert says the governor still has a long time to tweak his image.

“Politics has a really long time frame so he could be in a completely different spot in two years,” said Weissert.

Some of Scott’s more visible changes have come in the past week, after the poll was taken. This week alone Scott has held a cabinet meeting without a tie, hosted a hour long open house with reporters, and worked at a Tampa donut shop.
