CA-SurveyUSA: Gov. Brown's approval rating takes major hit

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Democrats are pretty bad at managing states. California? Illinois? Disasters. New York is okay but still has a shortfall. Maryland, too, has a shortfall. While McDonnell's Virginia has a surplus.

Geez, are you serious about the blue avatar now? Do you think California and Illinois would be any better off with Whitman and Brady running things? Oh and how well off are the economies of Ohio and Florida and the popularity of the Republican governors there?

I thought Pete Wilson was popular during the 90's. No? Am I wrong?

The fact that Pete Wilson won re-election in 1994 is nothing short of a miracle. He was trailing by as much as 20% in 1993, and had some of the lowest approvals of any California governor, ever. The main reason why he won is (1) Wilson was a terrific campaigner who knew how to play hot-button issues like the death penalty, and (2) his opponent was inept at best.

and it was 1994.

I've always found it somewhat amusing that Gray Davis of all people won an election in 1994. But does the Lt. Gov. of California actually do anything?
