There is no way 76% of Maryland residents support Hogan.

None

Same with Oberst Gruppenfuehrer Whitmer

I’m confused. They were asking people in Alaska about the Governor of Georgia’s performance? WTH.

[usafa92]

Of course, it’s just a coincidence that all the Democrat governors have high approvals and all the Republicans have low approvals.....

[usafa92]

Let me correct. All the Democrat governors and the RINO’s that act like Democrats.

[nwrep]

No, it was the other way around. thanks.

Abbott (TX) is getting is getting some serious grief. There is at least one grassroots conservative that may give him run for his money.

[Calvin Locke]

That’s polled residents, as in teachers’ union members and state employees.

Either that, or the pollsters are using convoluted and trick questions to get the desired responses.

[Elsie H]

I’m betting that Abbott’s approval fell because he made masks mandatory.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’m betting that Abbott’s approval fell because he made masks mandatory.

Bingo! I can tell you here people hate Tom Wolf's guts because he's been acting like a jackbooted thug.

[Quilla]

It was reported on 7-18-20 that AL Governor Kay Ivey’s approval rating dropped 17 points - which coincided with her initial two week mandatory mask order. She extended the order yesterday for another month! I’m guessing her rating has hit rock bottom.

Andrew Cuomo (D) New York: 71%

Kill my grandmother, please!

[EC Washington]

70% for Charlie Parker - the most corrupt Governor in the US? Who ran this poll The Boston Globe?

[dhuls]

Agreed. Abbott’s decision to continue with this shutdown and his “pass the buck” attitude may be detrimental to further support from Texan conservatives.

The Hill Of Crap

[billyboy15]

Agreed, this is among the most bullsh*t of polls I have yet to see.

[chiller]

Great....Govs will soon learn that increased testing means lower voter approval.

More testing = more cases = more panic = later reopening = fewer taxes = ruined economies = greater unemployment

Solution: test as requested, special care to seniors and vulnerable. HCQ as prophylactic.

This can’t be this hard. Why is common sense ignored ?

[falcon99]

The Hill is just another liberal propaganda rag. Nothing it produces can be relied on any more than what comes out of CNN and MSNBC. There is always a not so hidden political agenda in everything they do.

[john316]

you heard of Martin Holsome out of Rusk?

[RoseofTexas]

He needs to open schools up and that’ll give him a boost!! If Abbott screws this up anymore consider Robert O’Rourke our next governor! People here in the state of Texas are really angry!
