Our View: LePage (R-moran Maine) won't get vote of confidence from this poll
http://www.pressherald.com/opinion/lepage-wont-get-vote-of-confidence-from-this-poll_2011-05-08.html

When Ed Koch was mayor of New York, he used to walk around the city asking constituents: "How'm I doin'?" We haven't heard Gov. LePage ask that question in Maine, but we've decided to answer it anyway.

According to a poll commissioned by MaineToday Media, LePage is getting mixed reviews from Mainers but a majority of those polled, 56 percent, said they had an unfavorable opinion of the governor. Asked to rate LePage's job performance, about 55 percent answered "poor" or "very poor."

Given those basic numbers -- detailed poll results are published in today's paper -- the most likely answer to the question, "How's the governor doin'?" seems to be: "Not so good."

When more than half the people who look to the governor for leadership don't like what they see, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that he's doing something wrong.
