Brownback is the least popular in the country, with a 26-65 approval rating. He still got re-elected. Bevin likely will as well.

On that note, I'm glad to see that Snyder, Christie, LePage, and Walker are still in the toilet. 2014 was such a terrible election.

But remember, if Trump picks Christie, he can carry NJ!

We'll see what happens if little Beshear runs in 2019.

Uh, this is a map of the approval of ALL the governors in the country and yet the post is only about Bevin's numbers?
BTW, did anyone notice Scott has a +9 approval rating? He was re-elected while having a higher disapproval.

Also, lol @ Malloy, Snyder, Christie and Brownback.

lol
It will still exist. Why would the party with the majority of House seats, governorships, state legislative seats and (currently) Senate seats be folding just because they lost the Presidential election? If 1964 couldn't end the GOP, nothing will.

Figures Kentucky would get some buyer's remorse. It doesn't matter, though. Bevin will still win re-election.

So many pols won re-election in 2014 that have no business still having careers. The sooner we learn how to get people to turn out in midterms, the better.

He might come as close as Paul Davis did to winning.

Really waht he is doing is the right thing for Illinois, but when you are in a state where the non-Cook areas can outvote the city but not out-represent them, this sh**t happens.

Corrupt unions, corrupt politicians, and a broken budget were what Bruce wanted to fix. Thats why the state is having budget problems, bickering between him and the legislature.

A few lawmakers wanted to do it. It might help Democrats by increasing turnout, but it might help Republicans by bringing in more national money.

However in 2012 60% of Kentucky voted for Mitt Romney over Obama. Unless the anti- Obamaprotest votes (East Kentucky) vote Democrat it won't be helpful.

It occurred to me after posting that, by moving the Gubernatorial election to the Presidential year, Gubernatorial candidates would get linked to the national party, which might well be a bad thing. Does anyone know if Democratic Senate candidates have faired any better in Presidential years?

In 2004 and 2008, the Democrats nearly pulled off upsets, so yes.

Based off these ratings for upcoming 2016 elections:

Theoretically bodes well for Democrats in Montana, Delaware, West Virginia, Washington, and Oregon.

Barn-burners in Missouri, North Carolina, and Indiana.

Open seats in Vermont and New Hampshire are sketchy business for both sides.

Utah and North Dakota: who care
