Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Ron DeSantis' Popularity Continues to Plunge
Caption: Ron DeSantis' Popularity Continues to Plunge. 'Newsweek' reports that Ron DeSantis has seen his net approval rating drop to a record low of -24, the lowest the Florida governor's popularity has dipped to date. According to a recent Civiqs poll, approximately 57% of registered U.S. voters hold a negative view of DeSantis. The poll found that just 33% of voters held a positive impression of DeSantis, and another 10% remain unsure. 'Newsweek' reports that DeSantis appears to be the second-most popular Republican presidential candidate, behind former President Donald Trump. According to Civiqs, DeSantis' popularity peaked in November and early December of 2022 and has been dramatically declining ever since. Between May of 2022 and July of this year, about 48,132 registered voters participated in Civiqs' ongoing survey about DeSantis' popularity. A Civiqs employee told 'Newsweek' that the company feeds data into a statistical model that “smooths out daily sampling variation” while also adjusting for demographic variations. Earlier this week, DeSantis' team reportedly fired 38 staffers as part of an effort to reset the campaign and reduce expenses. "Following a top-to-bottom review of our organization, we have taken additional, aggressive steps to streamline operations and put Ron DeSantis in the strongest position to win this primary and defeat Joe Biden.", Generra Peck, DeSantis' campaign manager, via ‘Newsweek’.
