A new Zogby/Miami Herald poll shows Gov. Charlie Crist's approval ratings dropping Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties due to the poor economy and high gas prices.

According to the survey 52% disapprove of the job he's doing, compared to 43% who approve. That's down significantly from December when Crist's approval/disapproval was 54-40.

As the Herald notes, "It's the first time in Crist's 18 months in office that more people give the Republican a negative rating than a positive one. The one area South Floridians criticize him most: property taxes."
