Move over, Rick Scott! Chafee is approaching Taft Territory!

Rick Scott is reasonably popular nowadays.

Reasonably? He's at 36%. That's 16 points below his disapprove rating. He is by no means popular (see the new organization Pink Slip Rick, and the semi-common nickname "Governor Voldemort").

Other polls have shown him doing quite a bit better.

More than four in 10 Florida voters, 43 percent, approve of Scott's job performance a year into his first term; 47 percent disapprove; while 10 percent are not sure.

That poll's from Jan. 30. One from March 28th by Quinnipiac has him at 36% approve.

One really wonders who these 36% or 43% of Floridians are, considering Scott is objectively a felon in every sense but the legal nicety of limited liability.

Well, given his lack of popularity, he's had to take drastic measures. His website (rickscottforflorida.com) actually has an area (Email a Newspaper Editor) where you can send an form letter to a newspaper editor, because regular Floridians simply won't do that. But as to who supports him: not liberal arts majors, especially anthropologists.
