Baldacci approval rating up
Democratic Gov. John Baldacci's approval rating went up from 39 percent in the spring to 43 percent this fall in the Critical Insights on Maine Tracking Survey released Thursday.
It's still down from his high of 72 percent, a rating he got in the fall of 2003. The survey notes that since then, he's lost support across the state and "in both Congressional Districts."
When you look at the disapproval numbers, you'll see even 38 percent of Democrats disapprove of the job he's done. Then there's the 61 percent of Republicans and 40 percent of unenrolled voters who also say they disapprove.
The governor hasn't been in the news much lately. He's one of the few prominent Maine politicians who won't be on the ballot this cycle. His term ends in January of 2011 and people are already lining up to be on the November 2010 ballot when we'll vote on his successor.
So, what do you think of the job he's done in office?
