Floridians want DeSantis' stay-at-home order to continue until experts say it's safe

WASHINGTON

A majority of Florida voters say Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis should have responded sooner to the coronavirus pandemic and are not ready for the state’s stay-at-home order to be lifted, according to a new poll by Quinnipiac University.

DeSantis maintains a positive overall approval rating, but 61% of voters polled say the governor, who resisted calls for weeks to impose a stay-at-home order, could have responded sooner to the outbreak. Thirty-four percent say he responded quickly enough.

“Ron DeSantis’ approval is solid, but a large majority of people think he acted too slowly,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.

DeSantis’ general handling of the crisis received approval from half of voters polled, with 50% approving and 41% disapproving. Republicans gave DeSantis high marks across the board, while Democrats did not.

5. How does this work?

A majority of Florida voters say Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis should have responded sooner, AND not ready for the state’s stay-at-home order to be lifted, BUT general handling of the crisis received approval from half of voters polled???

6. Yes, 72% on that one poll. How did you get just crazy FL from that?

As we all see, RW loyalty to leader is carried to dangerous levels, but that's different from wanting stay-at-home rescinded. If he does do that, most who can will ignore it and stay home.

Btw, the rationale for that loyalty is that Democrats are even more dangerous in power. Stupid to imagine they're trapped between dangerously incompetent (but not malicious) RW and LW fascistic, but again, very different from supporting throwing open the gates to COVID.
