Yes, that's the whole reason Ventura didn't run for re-election.
For another example, see the gubernatorial term of Lowell Weicker.
Thats because he ran against the income tax and than implented it as Governor. I heard the people of Connecticut were very mad at him for that at that time. He barely passed the income tax. It took a vote from the LT. Governor at the time to pass the income tax. In the CT. State House the vote was close (75-73.) Weicker's unpopularity started the whole Rowland/Rell era. The couple posters on here from Connecticut know more about this than I do. I'm from NJ myself.
