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.
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.
