Gallup released state-by-state presidential approvals today:Barack Obama Job Approval
Approve: 62%
Disapprove: 29%
Sample Size: 539 You will not be surprised to see that the other New England states show higher approvals, given how recently we left "swing state" status compared to them (Gallup lists us as "Solid Dem," something I still have a hard time acknowledging).
Maine is at 66%, Rhode Island 70%, Connecticut 71%, Massachusetts 73%, and Vermont 74%.
Of note: "competitive" North Dakota exceeds us by one point at 63%. And in only two states, Alaska and Wyoming, is POTUS job approval under 50%. |
