Florida Voters Experiencing Remorse

Rick Scott’s anti-education agenda should have been obvious

Voters in Florida are experiencing buyer’s remorse, as they find out what their Tea Party Governor is really all about: crippling the state’s public schools. In other words, a very typical teabagger’s agenda.

Only three months removed from Governor Rick Scott’s (R) inauguration, a majority of Florida voters now say the state is headed in the wrong direction and that, if they could do it all over again, they wouldn’t have elected Scott in the first place, according to a new Suffolk University poll.

In the poll, 54% of voters said the state was headed in the wrong direction, compared to 30% who said it was going the right way. Further, just under half (49%) of all voters said they disapproved of Scott’s job performance, versus only 28% who said they approved.

Scott’s approval rating is so bad that the poll found him losing a hypothetical do-over election to Democrat Alex Sink by a ten-point margin, 41% to 31%.
