Scott incredibly unpopular
You could say Rick Scott's honeymoon is over...but that would suggest he had one in the first place. A December PPP poll shortly before Scott took office found that only 33% of Florida voters had a favorable opinion of their new Governor to 43% who viewed him negatively. After a few months in office those numbers have only gotten worse- Scott's approval rating is just 32% while 55% of voters in the state are unhappy with his work so far.
Scott's numbers leave a lot to be desired across the political spectrum. Only 57% of Republicans approve of the job he's doing to 27% who disapprove. To put those numbers into some context his counterparts in the Midwest who are having their own popularity problems at least are doing far better within their own parties- Wisconsin's Scott Walker stands at 86% with Republicans, Ohio's John Kasich is at 71%, and Michigan's Rick Snyder has a 68% approval with GOP voters.
Outside of his own party Scott's support is close to nonexistent. Only 31% of independents like what he's done so far to 54% who disapprove. And with Democrats his approval is just 11% to 81% who disapprove. For sake of comparison Marco Rubio's disapproval with Democrats is only 51%, 30 points lower than Scott's and his disapproval with independents is only 31%, 23 points lower than Scott's.
