Latest polling data/perspectives for some newly elected winger governors

Read all about it:

John Kasich

"Ohio voters disapprove 46 - 30 percent of the way Gov. John Kasich is handling his job, with women disapproving 48 - 25 percent and men disapproving 44 - 37 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Voters say 53 - 36 percent that Gov. Kasich's budget is unfair to them."

Rick Synder

"Snyder actually now has the worst numbers of this new trio of GOP Governors, with only 33% of voters approving of him to 50% who disapprove. And despite his overwhelming victory last fall voters now say that if they could do it over they'd pick Virg Bernero over Snyder by a 47-45 margin. Snyder's current status is definitely emblematic of the adage that the higher you climb the farther you fall."

Scott Walker

"When we recommended the then-Milwaukee County executive to be governor, we had no reason to think that he would try to bust public-employee unions. Since his inauguration, Walker has displayed a strong ideological bent at times that distracts him from the work at hand: creating an efficient state government and formulating government policy to promote job growth.

He has, in short order, become the most polarizing governor in the country."

Tom Corbett

"Most (53%) Pennsylvania adults believe the state is headed in the wrong direction and most say they are worse off (31%) or the same (57%) financially as
they were last year."

[Only 31% of Pennsylvanians think Corbett is doing a good job.]

Rick Snyder of MI cut unemployment benefits yesterday because he's worried that its too much of a tax on corporations. Its amazing...they will screw their constituents in favor of corporations.

Rick Scott is a crook. But after all it is Florida where he was elected by the majority. And isn't that the state that tipped the scale in favor of Bush also.

If voters got to do it over again today it would be no contest- Alex Sink leads Scott 56-37 in a hypothetical rematch. Independents say they would vote for her by a whooping 32 point margin at 61-29 and even 21% of Republicans now say they'd vote for her, more than twice the 10% level of GOP support exit polls showed her winning in November.

Grrrr... Scott is SO, SO bad for the state and Sink was one of my favorite politicians. Makes me sick.
