TALLAHASSEE — A poll released Wednesday by the usually right-leaning Sunshine State News shows Republican Gov. Rick Scott's approval rating at 27 percent among Floridians, with 58 percent disapproving of the job done by the first-year governor.

Sunshine's survey mirrors a Quinnipiac University poll in May that showed Scott's approval at 29 percent, suggesting the governor's attempt at overhauling his image with robo-calls and self-styled letters to newspaper editorial pages hasn't paid off.

The numbers also stand in contrast to what appeared as a brief surge of popularity for the governor in June. A survey released then by Viewpoint Florida gave Scott a 45 percent approval rating among Floridians.

Viewpoint Florida is run by Republican campaign operatives Randy Nielsen of West Palm Beach and Pat Bainter of Gainesville.
