Florida Insider Poll on the political futures of Adam Putnam, Pam Bondi

As Attorney General Pam Bondi and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam slide into their final weeks in office, our latest Florida Insider Poll asked members of the political establishment what they expect of these political leaders down the road.

Most – 54 percent – expect Putnam to run for elected office again. The onetime rising star and frontrunner for governor overwhelmingly lost this year's Republican primary to Gov.-Elect Ron DeSantis. Barring the unlikely scenario of Putnam challenging a fellow Republican, the 44-year-old Bartow native has few near-term options.

Another run for agriculture commissioner in 2022? Another run for Congress if somehow Ross Spano get bounced over his campaign finance scandal?

Meanwhile, an overwhelming majority — 76 percent — of the political consultants, lobbyists, academics, and fundraisers participating in the unscientific survey, doubt Bondi will seek elective office again. The 53-year-old Tampa resident has been appearing regularly on Fox News lately, so a gig there could be a possibility.

The early Donald Trump supporter's name name also had been floated for U.S. Attorney General after Jeff Sessions stepped down.

Asked whether Bondi would be an effective attorney general for the country,  59 percent said no.
