Solid ratings for red state Democratic governors
The for all America's governors in the month of November are in. Here are how the Democrats from red states are doing:
- Janet Napolitano (Arizona): Approve - 65%, Disapprove - 31%
- *Tom Vilsack (Iowa): Approve - 56%, Disapprove - 37%
- Kathleen Sebelius (Kansas): Approve - 57%, Disapprove - 34%
- Kathleen Blanco (Louisiana): Approve - 34%, Disapprove - 63%
- Brian Schweitzer (Montana): Approve - 68%, Disapprove - 27%
- *Bill Richardson (New Mexico): Approve - 63%, Disapprove - 34%
- Michael Easley (North Carolina): Approve - 56%, Disapprove - 38%
- Brad Henry (Oklahoma): Approve - 64%, Disapprove - 32%
- Phil Bredesen (Tennessee): Approve - 53%, Disapprove - 41%
- *Mark Warner (Virginia): Approve - 67%, Disapprove - 27%
- Joe Manchin (West Virginia): Approve - 66%, Disapprove - 26%
- Dave Freudenthal (Wyoming): Approve - 64%, Disapprove - 29%
Maybe those that hold the key to the Democratic Party's success are from this group. They, not the radical interest groups, should be the ones influencing the Democrats in Washington. A centrist-progressive approach is our ticket to a Democratic majority.
And just because most of you probably want to know, Ohio Republican Governor stands at 18% (12% among those aged 55 and older), and California Governor is 35%.
