CA: Poll: Governor's approval rating hits new high - 63% voters happy with job performance
San Jose Mercury News ^ | Jan. 13, 2007 | Kate Folmar

As he begins his second term, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's popularity is high in both parties and across all regions of the state, including the liberal Bay Area, a new poll from San Jose State University finds.

Sixty-three percent of California voters say they approve of the governor's job performance -- the highest mark since San Jose State's Survey and Policy Research Institute began polling on Schwarzenegger's popularity two years ago. Only 27 percent of voters gave him low marks. Bay Area voters responded similarly: 61 percent approved and 27 percent didn't.

"Californians really like the centrist Arnold. It's playing well with Democrats and independents, as well as the Republicans who have been supporting him all along," said survey director Melinda Jackson. "A lot of that is the post-elect bump, the honeymoon period."

The survey of 676 voters was taken Jan. 2 to 6.

Great graphic! That must have been back in Teddy's "lean" days, lol.

You're building up quite an archive of classics!

If you follow the polls, you too will be very popular. Live by them and die by them - this is true for the moderate crowd.

You're still on the McC ping list, but there isn't much activity, unfortunately. :-(

You want to be pinged to more? LOL. I usually don't ping threads when I post them as I figure most folks scan the CA topics that are interested in government stuff. You might like this little tidbit I posted from California's latest "Goods Movement Plan"... the greenies are takin' over Sacramento, I tell ya!

Exactly what was the point in voting for Schwarzenegger? Oh yeah, Phil Angelidies (Sp?) was an evil Marxist. Anyone who voted for CA Governor last year, wasted his/her time. The end result would be the same.
