Scott Walker is finished

Hogan still going strong!

Also Sununu's numbers are a spit in the face to MT, interesting on Raimondo too.

[Gass3268]

Scott Walker is finished

The Foxconn deal is really unpopular throughout the state, outside of Racine and Kenosha.

[scutosaurus]

Why is Alaska Governor Bill Walker so unpopular? I haven't really heard too much about his governorship. Hopefully he can rebound before November.

[Jeppe]

Raimondo’s approval rating is probably strong enough to survive a primary and win the general elecfion

FAIRBANKS — Senate President and Fairbanks Republican Sen. Pete Kelly reassured members of the public that the state economy is on the upswing during his presentation to the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday.

The senator said he has never referred to the state’s economic struggles as a crisis because he feels that labeling the situation as a crisis would allow for unstable legislation to be passed.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Rauner and Walker are finished.

[Pollster]

Important to note with regards to Bill Walker's numbers that the margin of error is huge, he is certainly underwater but the scope of his unpopularity is subject.

I still can’t believe a Republican in OK can get to 28% approval without a personal scandal. I’ve always thought Hogan was pretty strong despite what some on this board thought. I doubt the blue wave if it comes will hit many governors mansions though the state legislatures are a different topic.

[Dr. Arch]

Scott Walker nixed himself by going for the stupid Foxconn deal. Hopefully, Evers wins the primary and cleans house.

[Former Kentuckian]

lol at Matt Bevin

Drew Edmonson!

[Landslide Lyndon]

Um, I'll wait for a better pollster before I draw conclusions about who's finished and who is not.

[Mycool]

Agreed. She basically just needs to get the “don’t know”s to vote for her.

[IceSpear]

Uh, Wolf's approval is not surprising at all? He's been in positive single digits for quite a while now.

[Virginiá]

I have to admit, it's frustrating to see how popular all those Northeast Republican Governors are. Particularly Sununu. Why exactly are these governors so popular? Is it because they are constrained by Democratic legislatures (save for New Hampshire)?

I think it's that mostly, at least for MD. I don't think people are really paying attention to much of what he's actually doing, since he hasn't done anything really controversial. But he's refused to provide money in the latest budget to allow State Attorney General to sue the Trump Administration when needed, has proposed massive cuts to higher education, and seems to be leaving Baltimore to its own devices when it comes to its crime rate.

[Strudelcutie4427]

Hogan still going strong!

Also Sununu's numbers are a spit in the face to MT, interesting on Raimondo too.

If you seriously believe Sununu is at 58/22 in a state with such a high Democratic floor... He’d lose to someone like Stefany Shaheen by double digits.

He's actually doing a great job here. And dont forget that Ayotte won the 2010 senate race 60-39. No party really has a high floor here since the state swings so much

[Sestak]

Brown's approval being low does nothing for Republicans.

[Dr. MB]

Doesn't look too good for either of the Walkers.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

If these numbers are to be believed, perhaps Oklahoma Democrats have a real shot at the Governorship.

[libertpaulian]

Brown's approval being low does nothing for Republicans.

Especially with Drumpf in the White House.
