The mystery for this poll is solved:
“Cell-phone and home-phone respondents included in this research. SurveyUSA interviewed 600 state of Kansas adults 10/23/13 and 10/24/14. Of the adults, 511 were registered to vote and were asked the questions in the survey. This research was conducted using blended sample, mixed mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone (76% of registered voters) were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone were shown a questionnaire on their smartphone, tablet or other electronic device.”
“In a poll conducted Wednesday, SurveyUSA concluded that 34 percent of Kansans approved of the governor’s job performance compared to 59 percent who disapproved.
Republicans surely will complain about the sample which came in at 41 percent Republican, 30 percent Democratic and 27 percent independent. The Democratic number is slightly outsized.”

Adults and registered voters. Useless poll. If you’re not polling LIKELY voters, it can be dismissed out of hand.
I’m done with this poll. Thanks for doing the research.
SurveyUSA, what clowns.
