I was listenting to talk radio last night and a caller was asking the guest about Arnold's unpopularity, and the host said something about Arnold's "eroding popularity." Then I heard some political expert commenting on the news story about Arnold running again talk about his unpopularity. It struck me, isn't the whole "he's so unpopular" mantra the result of the continued smear campaign against him by the unions and teachers? I don't hear regular people complaining, just political hacks, union jerks, and talk radio hosts. It's amazing how perceptions sometimes become reality. Is he really that unpopular?
The ongoing radio/tv ad attack against Arnold has been long and merciless.

Besides Davis, the only governors to fall below Schwarzenegger's current 37 percent approval were Pete Wilson, at 33 percent in September 1992 and May 1993, and Pat Brown, at 35 percent in October 1961. Despite those low numbers, both won re-election.
