A continuation in July of SurveyUSA's May and June Governor approval polls, among 600 adults from each state's population.

The Vorlon's the one who can tell you what all that means.  Smiley

Not many changes that really stand out to me in terms of a trendline between the three months, except for Tim Pawlenty's steady slide in approval in Minnesota from 54%-38% in May to 43%-50% in July and I'd still want another month of stability at these numbers or further downward movement to make sure of this motion.

http://www.surveyusa.com/50StateGovTrackingJuly2005.htm

For all the curious people out there who can't wait to click on the link:

Jodi Rell (R-CT) is now tied as the top-rated governor with Mike Rounds (R-SD) at 73% approval, 18% disapproval.

The two highest-rated Democrats are Joe Manchin (WV) and Mark Warner (VA) with 65% approval, 25% disapproval and 63% approval, 25% approval, respectively.

The bottom governor is still Bob Taft (R-OH) with 17% approval, 76% disapproval.

The lowest-rated Democrat governor is Jennifer Granholm, with 37% approval and 59% disapproval.

Seven governors ratings stayed the same from June to July.  They are:

Mike Huckabee (R-AR) - 56% approve, 38% disapprove
Robert Ehrlich (R-MD) - 48% approve, 45% disapprove
Ed Rendell (D-PA) - 44% approve, 49% disapprove
Ruth Ann Minner (D-DE) - 43% approve, 49% disapprove
Ted Kulongoski (D-OR) - 38% approve, 50% disapprove
Rod Blagojevich (D-IL) - 38% approve, 55% disapprove
Matt Blunt (R-MO) - 35% approve, 61% disapprove

No surprise there.

Democrats need pickups in New York, California, Massachusetts, and Maryland (all solid blue states) in 2006.

He'd beat Kilgore, that's for sure.

How big is the question?  Close race (5% or less)? Or total blowout (10% plus)?

Given the political makeup of Virginia, it wouldn't be a blowout, but it would be a decent-sized victory (6-8 points IMO). Of course, if Warner could run for reelection, the Republicans would put up a semi-punching bag candidate anyway.

44% approve while 49% disapprove of Rendell. (same as June numbers). I have stated in the past, though, that these frequent SurveyUSA polls don't seem to be all that accurate. Regardless, a number of polls have made obvious Eddie's falling approval ratings which make me happy to say the least. The celebrity factor was big in '02 for Rendell. 2006 will bring a change.

It seems like everyone just loves Rell, Rounds, and Hoeven. Too bad none of them are likely Presidential candidates...

on the flip side, a lot of people just hate Taft, Murkwoski, Blunt, and Fletcher.

Oddly enough, Republicans fill both the very top and very bottom. 6 of the top 10 are Republican, and 6 of the bottom 10 are Republican.

Hoeven might run for Senate though.   Smiley

Republicans are often motre polarising, especially in states that swing both ways.

Actually I think there are structural factors influencing the results of these polls, as I've said before. People in some states just like their politicians more, not to mention to obvious external factors.

Rounds, by the way, will hopefully relieve Tim Johnson of his Senate seat at the next opportunity.

Are Taft's 17-76 ratings some sort of record?

Wow, now Pataki is more popular than Arnold. Of course Arnold has a kicking 36-61 rating. Only Taft has a higher disapproval rating than Arnold.

It would be sweet to knock off Pawlenty in 2006.

It would be sweet if someone gave me a 645i convertible, but that's not going to happen either.

He'll give me one? Well tell him I'd like it silver gray metallic with the dakota leather package and the premium sound system.

If you look at the breakdowns, there's some weird stuff. Pataki, a Republican from upstate NY, is more popular in NYC (just the 5 bouroughs) than in upstate NY.
