— DeSantis’ nadir was in July 2020, when 45% of Florida voters approved of his performance and 49% disapproved — a net negative of four percentage points. — In March 2025, he had 53% approval and 42% disapproval — a net positive of nine points.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' job approval rating has slipped to 50%, "down from 53% last March," according to the latest Mason-Dixon poll.

Political infighting among Florida's top Republicans was hard to ignore on the first day of the 2026 Legislative Session.

As of January 2026, De Sanits said there have been 83 filings for rate decreases and 100 filings for no increase – bringing the 30-day average request by companies for home rates down by 2.3%. "Nationwide, this is still all going up. We're probably the only state in the country where you're seeing decreases," he said.

Florida Democrats criticize DeSantis' claims of economic success, focusing on affordability issues while proposing reforms for insurance and housing.

Gov. Ron DeSantis made a big announcement on Monday at Broward College in Davie, saying that after several years of homeowners dealing with rising insurance costs, they will now be getting some much-needed relief.

Gender and age splits also cut against him. DeSantis is now underwater with women, while older voters and men continue to buoy his overall standing. Regionally, his strongest support comes from Republican strongholds in North Florida and Southwest Florida, helping offset weaker numbers in Southeast Florida.

The final legislative checklist won’t just affect the day-to-day lives of Floridians, but it could be the last chance DeSantis gets to add to a lengthy record he could use if he mounts another bid for president.
