I gotta admit Doyle's numbers scare me. (could this mean the Republicans will pick up the governor's mansion in 2010?)
He also said he won't sign anything to reinstate the death penalty even though we voted that we wanted it last November.

Good guy - Approve Smiley

Eventually doing that (going against what most people in the state wants) will hurt him enough. Hopefully that will be in 2010.
If I recall correctly, he wasn't really popular at all. People just didnt want a republican. Anyway.. I doubt he will run in 2010, he will probably be primaried.

There's 15 polls, so odds are one is a 1-in-20. Missouri is likely that.

It's actually quite consistent with his upward poll trend lately.

That's the main reason why I called Blunt more likely than Daniels to win re-election in 2008.

Well, my question is - have we seen a Daniels poll since November 2006?  At that time, his approval was at 43-49, where Blunt's was at 39-57.  If we haven't, we have no idea whether Daniels' approval has gone up or down.

Therefore, it seems conclusory to make any assessment about his polling numbers since the last polls are so old.  That's the reason why right now I'm making assessments based on the candidates running against them.

Though I do understand your point.

She has slipped lately. It's down to 83%, I believe.  Tongue

I'm sure she has close to 100% approval among straight men.
She's perhaps the only Republican I'd ever say that I approved of in a poll.

I'd approve of her in my poll.  Or on it.

Edit: Jesus, she's 43.  I should be ashamed of myself.  But I'm not.

I approved all over her poll.

It amuses me that SUSA calls the page their "50 state" tracking poll, when it certainly is not.

I do have to thank Mr. Moderate for noticing that poll trend, which I missed myself.  To me, it looks like the classic upward trend movement and I would definitely remove my remark that this is likely an outlier.

Yes he was never popular, but the Republicans just need to put up the right person to beat him. Get Tommy Thompson to run against him in 2010, he could easily win a fifth term.

Spitzer has been overplaying his hand, appearing like a bully against the Senate Republicans and allowing those Republicans to form an alliance with Bloomberg.  I expect certain others to chime in differently, but at present he is losing that battle politically.

I can't really understand why he's giving a demoralized NY GOP anything to actually fight for at this point.  Being a little more concillatory would probably have strengthened his hand (and he would have gotten more passed).

In short, the honeymoon is over.  These numbers are not surprising.

Blunt's numbers may be an outlier, maybe not.  People have been writing him off too quickly, like Daniels, even though I find amusing writing the conclusion for the IN race on polls that are at least 9 months old.

I wouldn't say Spitzer has overplayed his hand, he is fighting to do what he campaigned to do.  try to bring change to the way the State Assembly and Senate worked.  His tactics may have turned off some people, but when it comes down to it I think it will pass, especially as the guy he has clashed the most with could very well be in legal hot water (the State Senate Majority leader Joseph Bruno)

This isn't going to help Spitzer either:

In Wisconsin, I hope Doyle doesnt run again in '10.  I thing LG Barbara Lawton will be a great governor... and I think she'd beat any GOPer.

Sure, Blunt is slowly becoming less unpopular but I don't think he'll be able to survive because of the strength of a Jay Nixon challenge. 

Daniels, meanwhile, may have an easier time because of lack of a top tier... Gregoire, too, will never be too popular but will likely squeeze past also-ran Rossi...

I think the Dems need to put Sebelius on the national ticket.  I'll say it again--she'd be a great VP for Obama, Biden, Richardson, etc.

If Tommy Thompson runs (hopefully) she'd be toast.

Don't the Wisconsin Republicans have anyone to run besides this loser? How long has he been out of office? Christ, get some fresh blood.

There's plenty of people on both sides though nobody is really well known. And why wouldn't you try to run the strongest Republican in the state if you could? That would be stupid.
