Governors Polls: Red State Democrats are most popular

[bluestateguy]

I was doing some recreational political science and discovered that Red state Democratic governors are the most popular, with an average approval rating of 58.5%. Blue state Democratic governors have an average rating of only 45.8%. The same trend holds for Republican governors, but not by as much. Blue state Republican governors have an average rating of 53.2%, while red state Republican governors have a rating that averages 51.6%.

I used the survey USA 50 state governors polls conducted at the end of October.

4. Definition of 'red State'?

When you use 'red State' - do you mean how the State voted in the 2004 Presedential elections, or are you going by the party that controls the State's Legislature? Thank you.

5. A red state is a state that voted for Bush and vice versa

8. Hey, if you're crunching numbers, could you weight

these by population or electoral votes?

6. It's definitetly noteworthy that the 5 worst are Repubs.

The two at the bottom are Schwartz and Taft (Ohio). Neither are hard-righters, so they are likely in trouble with the Red state base.

7. Look at that approval rating for Taft...........

*snicker*

Can't wait until he's gone.
