As a Michigander, I can tell you that the poll numbers for "Reparations" Granholm have fallen precipitously in the past few months. Up to this point, her strategy has been to not do anything much at all, so her popularity figures were unrealistically high. Lately, though, she's been forced to show her true colors, what with her veto of the Republican-sponsored partial-birth abortion ban bill (having run as a "Catholic"), her cowardly refusal to reign in the Detroit Federation of Teachers attempts to block the $200 million Thompson charter school program that was scotched (at a time when state budget shortfalls are forcing major cuts in school spending), her puerile "cool cities" initiative (as a ham-handed way to decrease the flight of manufacturing businesses from union-driven Michigan), and the release of the results of the on-going FBI investigation into her connections with the corrupt Wayne County Democrat political machine (with its criminality and union thuggery). After all, she only won with a 3% margin over the Republican candidate last time, which means she was put over the top by the female "sucker mom" vote.

Her approval rating may have slipped from its peak, but her numbers are still relatively strong compared to other governors across the country. According to EPIC/M-R-A here are her approval numbers from their last three polls:

June: 65%

August: 70%

October: 60%
