Florida Voters Support "Super Homestead Exemption"

Florida voters support 57 - 17 percent a proposal to be voted on in January that would create a "Super Homestead Exemption," although most voters say they know little or nothing about the proposal. The plan needs a 60 percent majority to become law. Complaints from local governments that passage of the super exemption would require cuts in services are either "not valid concerns" or "not a reason to vote against the proposal," a total of 68 percent of voters say.

"We might want to begin calling him 'Teflon Charlie' because Gov. Crist remains enormously popular. Yet voters are not happy with insurance reform he championed and think he and lawmakers didn't go far enough in their initial tax cut," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Crist's 73 percent job approval, including 72 - 10 percent among Democrats, is equal to his rating in March, the highest since he took office in January. But voters aren't seeing the savings in their property insurance rates he promised when signing the reform plan into law earlier this year.
Florida voters love Gov. Charlie Crist as much as ever, giving him a 73 - 11 percent job approval, but 72 percent say his insurance reform plan hasn't delivered lower rates, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. This is Gov. Crist's fourth approval score at 69 percent or higher.

Property tax cuts passed by the State Legislature and signed by Gov. Crist were not large enough, 47 percent of voters tell the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll. Another 8 percent say tax cuts were too large, while 29 percent say they are about right.

Florida voters approve 47 - 26 percent of the job Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is doing, but give Republican Sen. Mel Martinez a slightly negative 36 - 38 percent approval rating, his lowest ever.
