Florida disapproves of Obama, wants different direction from next president

Despite carrying Florida twice, President Barack Obama is underwater in the Sunshine State with most voters wanting the next president to break from his policies, a new poll finds.

Quinnipiac University released a poll on Wednesday which shows a majority of those surveyed — 55 percent — disapprove of Obama while only 41 percent approve of him.

With the 2016 presidential race already starting, the poll shows around a third of those surveyed — 32 percent — want the next president to continue Obama’s policies while 61 percent think it’s time to change direction.

“President Barack Obama gets lousy grades for his job performance, although they are not quite as low as they have been at times in his second term,” said Peter Brown, the assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll. “More damning is that about five in eight voters say they want the new president to take the country in a different direction.”
