Last week, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed an immigration law that launched a national debate. It has also at least temporarily helped her own chances of remaining Arizona’s governor.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state shows that 56% now approve of the way Brewer is performing her role as governor. Two weeks ago, just 40% offered their approval.
The new figure includes 22% who Strongly Approve of the governor’s performance. That’s up from five percent (5%) before Brewer signed the law that authorizes local police to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant.
The bounce in the polls is also evident in new numbers on the November election. If Brewer is the Republican nominee, she would get 48% of the vote while her likely Democratic opponent, State Attorney General Terry Goddard, would attract 40%. Two weeks ago, it was Brewer 44% and Goddard 40%. Goddard is an outspoken opponent of the new law.

AWESOME.
When Republicans display backbone they prosper.
Every time.
Excellent!
It’s great that Gov Brewer signed the Bill, but she is still a RINO. She had nothing to do with writing or promoting the Bill and probably only signed it because she wants to get re-elected. State Senator Russell Pearce deserves the credit, working on that Bill for the past several years. Brewer has pushing a sales tax increase. We can do better.
Yea - REALLY WEIRD - you do what the people want, and then, what the hell? - you become more popular.
Yet there will be people here hyping her to be on a POTUS ticket (If they haven't already), just like after the rino from Mass. won the senate seat.
