The hurricane bump will sustain itself a bit longer.
This, at least anecdotally, is what I am hearing from friends and neigbhors. All have given Scott good marks for leadership.
Like I said, two people - a grand total of two - have spoken critically of his Hurricane Irma handling. I've heard plenty of criticism otherwise in regards to other matters, but not much about the storm in particular. Scott remains fairly polarizing, but he's demonstrated leadership qualities that make him a contender. Scott may be the Ed Gillespie (2014-out of nowhere close but still no cigar) of this cycle at this rate.
