Sunburn â The morning read of whatâs hot in Florida politics â 3.10.21
Good Wednesday morning:
Donald Trump over Joe Biden by a couple of points on Election Day, and not much has changed in the four months since, according to new polling from Mason-Dixon.
The pollster didnât put the former President head-to-head with his successor, but it did find that Bidenâs job approval rating is underwater, with 47% of voters approving and 49% disapproving. The balance is undecided.
Floridians still prefer Donald Trump to Joe Biden, a new survey finds.
Biden does hold a dominant plus-77 approval rating among Black voters and enjoys a plus-12 among Hispanic voters, but White voters are decidedly not fans, handing him a minus-21. Women and South Florida residents were also on his side, too, though men and voters from every other region are nonplussed.

In a lawsuit filed on Monday, Steven and Nancy Iscowitz, who own a condo at Palmetto Place at Mizner Park, claim the association deactivated their key fobs, preventing them from accessing the buildingâs common areas, in order to confine their movements after the couple tested positive for COVID-19 in July.
