Governor Blagojevich Approval Rating Continues to Plummet
Governor Blagojevich now has the lowest ratings ever recorded at 13%.
In the lowest ratings ever recorded for an elected politician in nearly three decades of Tribune polls, a new survey found few approving of the job Blagojevich is doing as governor and even fewer who want him re-elected. The results show the state’s first Democratic governor in a quarter-century has lost the confidence of voters in his own party. Moreover, the backing of one of his strongest voting blocs—African-Americans—appears to be falling away.
Blagojevich is not campaigning for other candidates or donating money to them this year. Not even his own party wants anything to do with him.
