No he's not, that's just this website's color scheme.  Click on the "Election Results" tab at the very top menubar.

No, I meant (like I said before) that he flipped blue and red here:

Use the same intensity, but if the Republican is in trouble or the Democrat is in positive territory, then color the state blue. If the Democratic governor is doing badly or the Republican Governor is doing fine, then color the state red. A tie for either -- it's yellow.

Use the same intensity, but if the Republican is in trouble or the Democrat is in positive territory, then color the state blue. If the Democratic governor is doing badly or the Republican Governor is doing fine, then color the state red. A tie for either -- it's yellow. 



Q1 Do you approve or disapprove of Governor
Chris Christie’s job performance?
Approve .......................................................... 43%
Disapprove...................................................... 53%
Not sure .......................................................... 4%

Q2 Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion
of Jon Corzine?
Favorable........................................................ 39%
Unfavorable .................................................... 47%
Not sure .......................................................... 14%

Q3 If you could do the 2009 election for Governor
over again, would you vote for Republican
Chris Christie or Democrat Jon Corzine?
Chris Christie .................................................. 48%
Jon Corzine..................................................... 48%
Not sure .......................................................... 5%

Abrasive personalities disappoint the electorate when things go badly.



Deficit or surplus for a Democrat or Republican:

  1%   to    4%       ... color 20%
  5%   to    9%       ... color 40%
10%   to  15%       ... color 60%
15% or greater     ... color 80%

EVEN                     40% yellow

red -- incumbent Democratic advantage
orange -- incumbent Democrat in trouble
blue -- incumbent Republican advantage
green --incumbent Republican in trouble

No governor or an independent governor ... white




Now for the gubernatorial advantage for the President:

Use the same intensity, but if the Republican is in trouble or the Democrat is in positive territory, then color the state red. If the Democratic governor is doing badly or the Republican Governor is doing fine, then color the state blue. A tie for either -- it's yellow.  



 


No advantage                                                    7
Obama advantage                                         314
GOP advantage                                             138      
 



Separating the advantages into "huge" (10%+), "modest" (5-9%), "slight" (under 5%), and none or indeterminate:

Republican advantage:

Huge 81
Modest 21
Slight 50



No advantage or indeterminate 7


Democratic advantage:

Slight 0
Modest 44
Huge 260



Fixed! Thank you.

MN: Mark Dayton (D)

Gov. Mark Dayton has come out of the state government shutdown with Minnesotans evenly split on his job performance.

40 percent approve of his work, 40 percent disapprove and 20 percent have no opinion, according to a poll done for MinnPost.com by Daves & Associates Research.

Sure it is.  Just because it's not as Republican as it used to be does not mean it isn't a conservative state. The only Democrats who have had any success there have had to be -- or at least pose as -- moderates.

McDonnell is not doing anything or giving anything for people to disapprove of - hell, I support the man right now.

Also, VA is a GOP state by sq. mile, but a leaning Dem state by population.

Pennsylvania

A shift by women voters helps give Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett a 44 - 36 percent job approval, his first noticeable boost in job approval since he took office in January, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Pennsylvania voters like their governor as a person 48 - 15 percent, with 37 percent still undecided. But voters say 43 - 40 percent that they don't like Corbett's policies.

Seems unlikely -- but the end of the budgetary process may have led to less polarizing results than poison state politics in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, or Wisconsin. Governors gain politically by acting like adults.

Is there any question that the budgeting process creates trouble for a Governor in a state politically polarized or a Governor facing a hostile state legislature, and that if the budgetary process turns out well the Governor is in good shape?

A prediction: we will soon see how some of the governors from North Carolina northward fare in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.  All of the states that got more than a glancing blow from Hurricane Irene (that excludes Florida and South Carolina) voted for President Obama in 2008. Including DC (which isn't going to vote for any Republican in 2012), the thirteen states and DC comprise 140 electoral votes.

10%   to  15%       ... color 60%
15% or greater     ... color 80%

EVEN                     40% yellow

red -- incumbent Democratic advantage
orange -- incumbent Democrat in trouble
blue -- incumbent Republican advantage
green --incumbent Republican in trouble

No governor or an independent governor ... white






  
Now for the gubernatorial advantage for the President:

Use the same intensity, but if the Republican is in trouble or the Democrat is in positive territory, then color the state red. If the Democratic governor is doing badly or the Republican Governor is doing fine, then color the state blue. A tie for either -- it's yellow.  



 


No advantage                                                   17
Obama advantage                                         276
GOP advantage                                             152      
 



Separating the advantages into "huge" (10%+), "modest" (5-9%), "slight" (under 5%), and none or indeterminate:

Republican advantage:

Huge 87
Modest 55
Slight 47



No advantage or indeterminate 17


Democratic advantage:

Slight 9
Modest 51
Huge 206


A prediction: we will soon see how some of the governors from North Carolina northward fare in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.  All of the states that got more than a glancing blow from Hurricane Irene (that excludes Florida and South Carolina) voted for President Obama in 2008. Including DC (which isn't going to vote for any Republican in 2012), the thirteen states and DC comprise 140 electoral votes.

Such is the acid test of a Governor as an administrator. I would expect the same all the way up the East Coast irrespective of partisan affiliation.

Deficit or surplus for a Democrat or Republican:

  1%   to    4%       ... color 20%
  5%   to    9%       ... color 40%
10%   to  15%       ... color 60%
15% or greater     ... color 80%

EVEN                     40% yellow

red -- incumbent Democratic advantage
orange -- incumbent Democrat in trouble
blue -- incumbent Republican advantage
green --incumbent Republican in trouble

VA Gov. Bob McDonnell remains highly popular, just like Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Jim Webb:

"Gov. Bob McDonnell, who backed the legislation, remains highly popular with a 61 - 21 percent job approval rating, matching New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's 62 - 22 percent job approval as the best in states surveyed by the independent Quinnipiac University.

Not surprisingly, Republicans approve of the governor 79 - 7 percent and independent voters approve 67 - 17 percent, while Democrats are divided 39 - 40 percent. Even black voters, historically a Democratic group, approve 46 - 32 percent, "a highly unusual finding for a Republican office-holder," said Brown. White voters approve of the governor's performance 67 - 18 percent.

Virginians say 56 - 14 percent they like McDonnell personally and by 52 - 26 percent say they like most of his policies. By 53 - 29 percent they approve of his handling of the state budget, and say 55 - 31 percent that the budget is fair to people like them.

...

Virginia voters are generally happy with their political leaders. Giving all their statewide elected political figures positive job approval ratings:

* U.S. Sen. Mark Warner is at 64 - 22 percent, the highest approval of any statewide official;
* U.S. Sen. Jim Webb gets 51 - 30 percent;
* Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling has a 39 - 15 percent approval;
* Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli scores 47 - 29 percent.

From September 6 - 12, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,368 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.

McDonnell will be a serious presidential candidate in 2016 if Obama is reelected.

I see no indication that Governor McDonnell handled the hurricane threat and damage any less well than Governor Bev Perdue in neighboring North Carolina. He might rescue the GOP in 2016 should 2012 prove a debacle for the Republican nominee for President.  So far he is a good administrator who doesn't shoot his mouth off.

Democratic Senators are doing fine there, and Quinnipiac releases a poll on approval for the President on September 15 at 6:30 EST. 

Now for Missouri, usually a good indicator of America as a whole:

Nothing really changes for either state.


Very good!
