Obama Winning Over Florida Voters
April 16th, 2009 by flanewsDespite forking out billions of bailout dollars Floridians still like the new President. They also don’t hold the state’s economic crisis against Governor Charlie Crist. According to a Quinnipiac Poll released today a majority of Florida voters want Crist to run for re-election instead of US Senate. President Barack Obama has a 60 percent job approval rating in Florida. Quinnipiac Pollster Peter Brown said Obama has made believers out of people in both parties.
“There are 10’s of thousands of Floridians who did not vote for him last November, who now think he is doing a great job. That means he is going to be able to make a breakthrough with people who weren’t with him in the beginning,” said Brown.
81 percent of people polled said they want the government to limit the pay for executives at businesses that received bailout money.
