Wow. He's falling really fast....From the Mercury News:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's once enviable approval ratings have plunged to new depths after last week's decision to call a November special election that few Californians want.Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Just as he needs to rally public support for a trio of ballot measures, Schwarzenegger the salesman is turning off droves of Democrats and political independents, according to a non-partisan Field Poll that started about an hour after the governor went on statewide television last week to announce the Nov. 8 election. Even some fellow Republicans are turning their back on the governor, according to the poll released today, although he's still a popular GOP figure.
Thirty-seven percent of voters -- and 31 percent of California adults -- now say they approve of the governor's job performance, the survey found. That's down about 20 percentage points from his ratings in February.
