60% among just Republicans is terrible. Governors should have an 80-90% approval rating among their own party.
I bet Perry’s approval rating in Mexico is at 95%.
Texas is an open primary. Poll internals: 72% say they’re Republican, 36% say they consider themselves to be a member of the Tea Party. Perry’s 60% job approval is strong, that would be about 83% if it were a poll of only Republicans.
