It’s unbelievable that 13% of our population could be so stupid as to think our state legislature is actually doing a good job! But, I bet if you deducted all people who work at the capital and all their relatives, that percentage would drop to around 2% which to me seems like a more realistic number. And this begs the following question: If 77% are unhappy with our politicians, why do they keep re-electing them? I have no answer…just the question, anybody know?
The latest Field poll found that 27% of respondents approved of the governor’s performance, marking a new low for him. Schwarzenegger’s disapproval rating reached a new high, 65%, according to the poll.
By contrast, a Field Poll in September 2004 showed the governor with a 65% approval rating and 22% disapproval rating.
The Legislature fared even worse compared with the governor. The poll found that 13% of respondents approved of the Legislature’s performance, while 78% disapproved.
“Voters’ current 78% disapproval rating of the legislature is the lowest ever obtained by the Field Poll for that institution in measures dating back to 1983,” the pollsters said in an analysis.
