Title: IL: Gov. Quinn (D) with very weak approvals Post by: Tender Branson on March 28, 2011, 10:43:19 AM We Ask America:
So how will all that affect Gov. Quinn’s approval rating? On March 20, we asked 1,184 registered Illinois voters this question: In general, do you approve or disapprove of the job Illinois governor Pat Quinn is doing? 30.6% Approve 60.7% Disapprove http://weaskamerica.com/2011/03/21/tenacious-gadfly/ Title: Re: IL: Gov.

Quinn has followed that route. Title: Re: IL: Gov.

Quinn has followed that route. Psst, Carl! Don't look now but your boys in Wisconsin and Ohio aren't exactly the most popular guys in the world. Title: Re: IL: Gov.

Last time I checked, they were still more popular than Quinn. Title: Re: IL: Gov.

Last time I checked, they were still more popular than Quinn. That's not exactly an accomplishment. But the point is slightly lost when the union-busters are still faring much better than Quinn. Granted, being a politician in Illinois is not exactly a recipe for popularity, so it's not as if we'd be expecting Quinn to do great or anything. Title: Re: IL: Gov.

It's curious how the Kossack crowd only decided to poll GOP governors... Title: Re: IL: Gov.

Granted, being a politician in Illinois is not exactly a recipe for popularity, so it's not as if we'd be expecting Quinn to do great or anything. Except that Quinn has been governor two years now and has done even more unpopular things, like raising taxes. OTOH, his Republican counterparts should have been enjoying their honeymoons now.

Why? The alternative was fascism.

Why? The alternative was fascism. Not necessarily. Brady struck more as a Tea Party demagogue in the mold of Rand Paul rather than a Scott Walker type. Title: Re: IL: Gov.

Quinn has followed that route. Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn said Monday that he signed off on a budget that he knew fell short of funding state government for a full year because he didn’t want Republicans to get a seat at the bargaining table. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-07-25/news/chi-quinn-signed-state-budget-to-avoid-deeper-cuts-by-republicans-20110725_1_state-budget-pat-quinn-deeper-cuts Title: Re: IL: Gov.

Quinn, wants to be nice and get along with every one.
