WEST PALM BEACH — U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds — backed by President Donald Trump — opened his campaign Friday evening at a rally in his hometown of Bonita Springs in southwest Florida.

Byron Donalds doesn’t have Gov. Ron DeSantis’ support to become the next governor of Florida. But during his gubernatorial campaign kickoff rally on Friday, Donalds cast himself as a natural extension of the governor’s “free state of Florida” mantra.

The numbers are in: we know what Floridians think about how President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis are doing at their jobs so far. The Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy interviewed 625 random registered voters over the phone from March 11 through 15 in the Sunshine State this month to see how their approval ratings stack up to years past.
