You were saying???
Really think those numbers are meaningful? And, how many votes do you think Trump gained or lost by his rude insults and demands to a sitting governor? Or, make it simpler, do you think he gained or lost votes for 2024?
Well she was at one time. If this is the case, she must find herself a Trump struggle session and get her mind right! (Sarcasm)
She has a high “unpopular” count in Morning Consult (even though she actually has a positive approval rating), because of two things, according to MC:
1. She was “disloyal” to Trump
2. She passed a solid pro-life law.
Not sure which of those two things you hate about her.
Pro-life folks are glad that solid conservative governors are willing to risk being found “unpopular” by the democrats in order to pass laws to protect babies.
IN fact, I would say that by some measures, in a state where republcians have about 52% of the vote, and democrats 48%, you might be better off with a governor with high negatives, rather than one trying to appeal to the democrats.
But in any case, the important thing in a republican primary, at least for real conservatives, is popularity with conservatives, NOT popularity with independents and democrats.
A new Emerson College Poll in Iowa finds Governor Kim Reynolds with a 32% approval among Iowa residents, while 39% disapprove of the job she is doing in office. Twenty-nine percent are neutral. President Biden’s approval is six points lower than Reynolds,’ holding a 26% approval among residents, and 52% disapproval. Twenty-two percent are neutral towards the president.
Spencer Kimball, Executive Director of Emerson College Polling, said, “Governor Reynolds holds a 55% approval rating within her own party, and 19% disapproval. Reynolds struggles with independent voters: a 40% plurality of whom disapprove of the job she is doing as governor, and just 22% approve.”
Those look like hte popular ones. Every single one has an edge over hsi/her negatives.
