You’d never know it judging by the left’s non-stop hyperventilating and lawsuits by the DOJ and the ACLU, even Latino voters support it by 49% to 42% margin.
With wide partisan and racial division, and a small gender gap, Florida voters support 60–35 percent Gov. Rick Scott’s effort to purge non-citizens from the state’s voter rolls, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
There are similar partisan and racial divisions, and a wider gender gap, as Sunshine State voters support 56–37 percent the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.
Gov. Scott, however, is still unpopular with the state’s electorate, who disapprove 49–39 percent of the job he is doing, compared to a 46–41 percent disapproval May 24, Scott’s best score in his 18 months in office.
Support for the attempted voter purges is 90–8 percent among Republicans and 59–37 percent among independent voters, while Democrats are opposed 60–33 percent.
But unlike the gender split on many major political issues, there is little disagreement among the sexes on the purge: Men support it 63–33 percent while women back it 58–37 percent. White voters back the purge 67–29 percent, while black voters oppose it 56–38 percent and Hispanic voters support it 49–42 percent.
“Gov. Rick Scott may be a lot less popular in Florida these days than President Barack Obama, but on the face-off between the two on the purge issue, Floridians seem to be solidly in Scott’s corner,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
