Disney and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) are set to battle in a federal court, and it appears the entertainment giant has an advantage in the court of public opinion among independents.
A Yahoo-YouGov poll, conducted from May 5-8, showed that a plurality of independent voters believe courts should side with Disney, 42%, over the Florida governor, 32%, in their battle.
The lawsuit, brought by Disney in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, alleges that DeSantis and other state officials engaged in a "relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials."
The poll also found that only 34% of voters had heard "a lot" about the feud between Disney and DeSantis.
The feud between DeSantis and the company continued Thursday after DeSantis signed a transportation bill into law featuring a provision that would make the monorail system at the Walt Disney World Resort subject to increased state oversight. Disney had maintained full autonomy over the district since its creation in 1967.

(25,519 posts)There has been extensive coverage of it in the media. People who are worried about jobs or inflation or abortion or any number of other issues probably don't have this all that high on their list of concerns, the obvious implications notwithstanding.
Also, the 34% figure was the percentage of people who had heard "a lot" about the case, not the percentage that had heard anything at all.
