Public Policy Polling just released numbers that revealed how a few governors around the country aren't real popular, including our own hard right winger, Scott Walker.
Over the last month or so we've polled on the favorabilities of seven newly elected Governors across the country. You might expect them all to be pretty popular if they were just elected but there's actually quite a wide range of voter reaction toward them as they begin their terms.
BrianSandoval in Nevada, favorability rating is 57% with only 20% having a negative opinion of him … He even has a plurality of Democrats 37% to 30%Some of the newly elected Governors- Rick Scott in Florida in particular but also John Kasich in Ohio and Scott Walker in Wisconsin- are not particularly popular though.
Scott's the one who's really bad off with only 33% of voters seeing him positively to 43% with an unfavorable opinion.
Walker and Kasich both have worse numbers than they did in our polls right before the election. Walker's favorability is a 41/49 spread and Kasich's is 36/40.
One key reason for the disparity? We're now polling all registered voters in the states, not just 2010 likely voters as we were the last three months before the election. Only 7% (Democrats) rate Walker favorably to 85% with a negative opinion. They don't have anywhere close to the sort of crossover appeal (like) Sandoval.
We’ll be watching our little dictator.
