A large majority of Florida voters don’t like Governor Rick Scott and Scott doesn’t care.

According to a poll released Tuesday by the Public Policy Polling Firm , 55 percent of voters disapprove of the new governor’s actions, compared to just 32 percent who approve.

Only 57% of Republicans approve of the job he's doing to 27% who disapprove.

Scott says he didn’t come to Tallahassee to make friends. “As I said in my State of the State address, I didn’t come here to be the most popular. This state will be the most likely to succeed, have a great day everybody.”

The poll also claims that if Scott were running for governor today he would lose to his former opponent Democrat Alex Sink, by a 19 point margin.
