Calif. gov's approval rating drops to all-time low

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is having trouble selling his latest act to California voters.

A Field Poll released Tuesday finds the Republican governor with his lowest approval rating ever. Just 27 percent of voters approve of his performance, while 65 percent disapprove.

The governor's esteem has been slipping since December 2007, when he enjoyed an approval rating of 60 percent. His highest ratings came in 2004, his first full year in office.

Schwarzenegger's latest mark is the second lowest when matched against the six governors who preceded him. Only Democrat Gray Davis scored lower, registering a 22 percent approval rating in 2003, shortly before voters recalled him.

The results were based on a telephone survey of 1,005 voters conducted Sept. 18 to Oct. 5. The survey has a margin of sampling error of 3.2 percentage points.

Pete Wilson and Ronald Reagan weren’t so bad after all, eh?

Will Sean Hannity finally retire his kneepads?

Maria’s really done a number on that state. Too bad Arnold kept taking her advice.

“Only Democrat Gray Davis scored lower, registering a 22 percent approval rating in 2003, shortly before voters recalled him.”

Bwaaa-Haaa-Haa! Even Wisconsin’s POS ‘Rat Governor has a 30% rating! But it sky-rocketed to 99% when he announced that he wasn’t running for a third term, LOL!

Take the hint, Ah-nold.

You mean he didn’t get a bounce for declaring May 22 “Harvey Milk Day” in CA?

Gee, Arnie has done exactly what the McCain/rino Republicans want us to do nationally, march into the middle of the Democrat Party, but it doesn't seem to have helped the girly-man's approval rating.

I'm so confused!

Too bad there is no poll to review the popularity of the CA voters.

He doesn’t scare me. He’s a ‘fictional character’ on film and now he’s become one in real life. :)

Where oh where are the Schwartzenegger fans on FR now?
Gee, we haven’t heard from that bunch of goofballs in quite a while, but once Ahnuld was as popular here as Condoleeeza Rice!

Arnold not only killed his own political career, but his film career and anyone he likes is dead too!

Talk about salting the earth so nothing can grow!

I still love his films, but Arnold Schwarzenegger’s politics make me want to barf. He’s yet another Democrat in Republican clothes.

There’s a bible versus about Christ spewing out folks who are spiritually neither hot nor cold. That fits RINOs perfectly.

Battle lines are being drawn, and no one likes people who play both sides.
