Rep. Matt Gaetz might be fighting firestorms in the national news and in Congress over a federal investigation into stories about his sexual history, but outrage over the allegations is not landing with voters in his home district, according to a poll commissioned by his campaign.

Poll numbers provided exclusively to the Washington Examiner show that the Florida Republican has a net positive approval rating of 23.5% among registered voters in his district, with 48.3% who approve, 24.8% who disapprove, and 26.8% who are unsure.
