Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has seen his approval rating fall dramatically two weeks after announcing his 2024 presidential bid.

In comparison, the Florida Governor's overall approval and disapproval rating was tied at 47 percent in early December.

Sadly, I don't believe he'll go away anytime soon.
