Chamber Poll: Crist has High Approval Rating
TALLAHASSEE — A new Florida Chamber of Commerce poll shows Gov. Charlie Crist with a 73 percent approval rating, an increase of 5 percentage points from only four months ago.
The poll was conducted for the Florida Chamber Political Institute by Public Insight Research, the polling arm of Cherry Communications. The poll surveyed 610 Likely Florida Voters from Jan. 30 –Feb 1, 2009, and had a +/- 4% margin of error.
