DeSantis Now Has Second Highest Disapproval Rating in U.S.

Florida Governor DeSantis now has the second highest disapproval rating in all of the U.S. according to a new survey conducted by Morning Consult.

“DeSantis had a disapproval rating of 45%, the second-highest disapproval rating of any Governor in the United States,” reports Ash Jurberg.

“Only Iowa’s governor fared worse than DeSantis. As a comparison, Vermont’s Republican Governor Phil Scott only had a 14% disapproval rating.”

It is worth noting that 51% of votes approved of Florida governor DeSantis.

“While his net approval rating is still positive, the Morning Consult survey may be a blow to the Florida governor, who is usually considered a popular Republican figure in the state,” reports NewsWeek.

“The results also suggest that DeSantis is losing his support in Florida.

The previous Governor Approval Ratings report in July showed that DeSantis had a 54 percent approval rating, three points higher than the new survey, with a 42 percent disapproval rating, three percent lower than his latest figures.”

I heard DeSantis speak a few months back on a Twitter space call when he announced his presidential campaign.

But I’m curious to know your thoughts on the Florida governor — leave your thoughts below.

Massive banks in Texas now announce closures for 2024 according to fresh data from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

According to the OCC’s current weekly bulletin listing, the following Texas bank branches are permanently closing in 2024:

Wells Fargo 11152 S. Gessner Drive, Houston.

Bank of America 2601 Preston Road, Frisco; 13350 Dallas Pkwy, Dallas.

Capital One 2301 E. Riverside Drive, Austin; 2910 S. Lakeline Blvd., Cedar Park.

“No specific dates of closure have yet been listed, and it should be noted more Texas branch closures are expected to be announced in upcoming OCC bulletins,” reports Joel Eisenberg.

“The popularity of digital banking, inclusive of electronic payments and direct deposits, continues to be widely acknowledged by industry analysts as the primary factor in this regard.”

Bank of America recently listed bank closures in other areas of the country for 2024 as well as Wells Fargo.

Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf recently rose attention during the company’s earnings call stating: “This company is not efficient – like, period. End of story.

Even with all of the reductions that we’ve made, it’s not surprising because as you peel the onion back, other things present themselves.”

Banks have stated that job cuts have also played an important role to weather strong recession conditions in 2024.

But Texas is not the only state facing mass bank closures.

Wells Fargo revealed last Friday that several branches would be closing in Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Florida, Texas, and Alabama.

California also continues to be heavily affected, with both large and regional bank branches permanently shuttering this year.

According to data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), approximately 8,000 banks were in operation in 2000, but by 2022, this figure was halved.
