They are not.  But you do have the same long tailed weasel that some in
California confuse with polecats.  And yes we can see why.  There is a
possibly endangered variant called the Florida weasel even (Mustela frenata
peninsulae) Don't know if he's in your area.  But you can check a list at

[bill First time I saw a picture sent to me from California I thought I
was looking a a polecat!  Someone was asking "Ask Buddha" if she had
ferrets in her yard]
