Tallahassee, FL – Florida Governor Rick Scott's approval ratings have hit a new low. Ronald J. Ebben has more.

Despite encouraging prepared letter to the editor touting his achievements and recorded phone calls to constituents, a new poll by Sunshine State News shows only 27-percent of Floridians think Governor Rick Scott is doing a good job.

This statewide poll of a thousand registered likely voters was done July 5-7, asking a single-issue question: "Do you approve or disapprove of the job Rick Scott is doing as governor?"

Last month, a Quinnipiac poll showed Scot's approval rating at 29-percent.
