Field Poll: Legislature sinks to all-time low

Sacramento - --

California voters are giving state leaders some of the lowest marks ever recorded, according to a Field Poll released today.

A mere 10 percent of registered voters approve of how the 120 members of the Legislature are doing their jobs, and 80 percent disapprove. That's the lowest approval rating in the history of the poll, going back to 1983, and is six percentage points lower than in July.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger nearly matched his all-time low, with 23 percent of voters approving of his job performance, one percentage point higher than his low point two months ago in July.

Mark DiCamillo, director of the Field Poll, said there is a clear reason for the historically negative poll - the record-breaking state budget impasse that has left the state without a spending plan 90 days into the fiscal year.

"It's the budget delay that has topped all budget delays," DiCamillo said, adding that voters have "the view that the Legislature is just not doing its job."

“Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger “

If a reporter cannot even get Governor Shrivers name right, should we read what they have to say?? Attention all reporters,journalists, If and When Arnold gets a divorce, then He can use his maiden name of Schwarzenegger, until then it is Shriver.

Yeah, but will any Dem incumbents be fired? They’re all in safely gerrymandered districts with enough liberal lemmings to keep them elected.
The propaganda line is; Democrats good - Republicans evil, and the burn-outs from the sixties along with the union and welfare crowds swallow the lies, hook, line and sinker. I don’t think Calif. is going to change for the positive until, I’m sorry to say, the baby-boomers die off.
I could rant on, but gotta get going with my day.
and PS. I’m for legalizing pot and ending the FAILED war on drugs that has grown the police state and eroded our 4th Amendment rights!
