[BamaLefty]

I see quite a few Republicans with horrible, horrible numbers.

[ultraist]

1. My (red state) NC DEM Gov has pretty good approval ratings, 52%

With only a 39% disapproval rating.

[eddiebrowns]

2. wow

I didn't think that Taft's numbers could go any lower!

[BayCityProgressive]

3. I am worried about Granholm

a right wing right to work advocate is going to challenge her and get all the christian nut job votes. Everyone and I mean Everyone I know HATES Granholm and I work with liberal people at a union office. She has made the mistake of going out on a limb and being a liberal on every social issue that has come before the state (which I respect)...but she hasn't done shit for the state economically. She doesnt push the GOP legislature hard enough and so she has had to raise taxes on all the wrong things. smokers hate her, campers hate her, if you have to cross the mackinaw bridge you hate her...ect ect...she has really made a mess for herself.

**edit- I can see the commercials about her already "gay loving, baby killing, soft on crime tax raising liberal". I really don't want to lose her to a GOP wingnut

13. But, she's so hot

If she was even a Repub I would vote for her. ;)

Gives the state a good image lol.

[okieinpain]

18. oh no, but don't you see at DU, we will only win if we're more liberal

how dare you say that she has to be a little bit moderate. how dare you.

27. I'm a union member who likes Granholm...

most of my union does too. But, I think she is going to have a helluva time getting reelected. I know I'll be volunteering to work for her campaign locally.

4. Phew, Kulongoski (D) of Oregon, 38% approve, 50% disapprove.

But looks like a lot of people, regardless of state or party, are unhappy with their governors.

[NV Whino]

5. Yep

Old Arnie is waaaay down at the bottom.

I certainly didn't vote for that fucker.

[tibbir]

6. Govenor Goodhair is -15%

Not near low enough for me.

[BamaLefty]

17. Doesn't that just sound "Republican?"

"Governor Goodhair?" WTF! That just sounds redneck Repub.

[recoveringdittohed]

7. We're number 1! (Ohio)

Don't blame me, I voted Hagen.

[eddiebrowns]

21. welcome to the DU fellow Buckeye! n/a

[alarcojon]

8. The bottom five are all Repugs

with Arnie fifth from the bottom.

Couldn't happen to a nicer asshat!

[theHandpuppet]

9. Wow -- check those Ohio numbers!

Now if only one of my good neighbors to the west would remind me why such a brain-dead twit as Taft won handily over (D)Tim Hagan? I simply don't understand it.

[Wickerman]

10. Liking the numbers for Minnesota

poor dumb ass Timmy.

Minnesota Pawlenty, Tim R 43% 50% -5% +4%

[DanCa]

11. Il Blagojevich

I am worried and upset but theres nothing I can do about it. Hopefully the party well pull together once the gop has an opposition candidate.

[tyedyeto]

12. Napolitano is doing pretty for being in a so-called red state

Arizona Napolitano, Janet (D) May 59% 32% June 58% 35% July 57% 35% -Change 1% +0%

[Raiden]

14. Ernie Fletcher (R-KY)

Approve 34%
Disapprove 57%


Bwahaha! You bastard!!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. Mitt the Shit is only #31-thought he's be at the bottom

even the idiots who voted for him hate him.

[UrbScotty]

16. WTF is wrong with them and Granholm's approval?

All the other polls I've seen put her approval rating in the low 50s.

[jojo54]

20. Really.

I'm not from Michigan, but I like her a lot. She's got a good head on her shoulders (from what I've heard of her talking points).

In a blue state, too. Odd.

[UrbScotty]

22. Maybe it's the methodology? (nt)

[okieinpain]

19. forget all of these people except big bad brad henry. man this

dude is kicking ass in a repug state, he's so bad that even JC watts is having second thoughts about running against him.

he's doing this without being some bullshit fake ass repug. the dude has done a wonderful job of picking the right fights, and knowing when to fold. dems across the nation could learn a thing or two from this guy. and all the while he's one of the most boring speakers in the world.

:!)

[Eric J in MN]

23. Arnold S. at 36% (nt)

nt

[Tommymac]

26. His approval rating is almost as big

as his biceps.

Poor Governator.

[Initech]

28. Der Gropenfhurer iz going dun!!!

And that's my bad Schwarzenegger impression! YEAH!

[FreedomAngel82]

24. Thanks for this

Aww my governor's raitings have gone down. :( I live in Tennessee and our governor is Phil Bredesen (d).

Approve- 48% Disapprove- 44%

[mvd]

25. Sorry to see that about Rendell

I fear that unless he gets more support from parts of the state besides the southeast, he could be vulnerable when he runs again. The fact that this was taken right during the pay raise debate doesn't help.
