Sunburn â The morning read of whatâs hot in Florida politics â 3.10.21
Good Wednesday morning:
Donald Trump over Joe Biden by a couple of points on Election Day, and not much has changed in the four months since, according to new polling from Mason-Dixon.
The pollster didnât put the former President head-to-head with his successor, but it did find that Bidenâs job approval rating is underwater, with 47% of voters approving and 49% disapproving. The balance is undecided.
Floridians still prefer Donald Trump to Joe Biden, a new survey finds.
Biden does hold a dominant plus-77 approval rating among Black voters and enjoys a plus-12 among Hispanic voters, but White voters are decidedly not fans, handing him a minus-21. Women and South Florida residents were also on his side, too, though men and voters from every other region are nonplussed.
