Middle of the Road
Here is the latest Survey USA 50 State Job Approval Rating poll for Georgia. What do we learn? Sonny's gas-tax stunt has worn off, he's now basically at the same place he was before his approval skyrocketed that month. He is also literally in the middle of the road -- 25th out of all of the governors in the 50 states. Well behind such mega popular governors as Mark Warner, Brian Schweitzer and John Hoeven, but well ahead of governors considered "in danger" such as Arnold, Jim Doyle and Rod Blagojevich.
I pay attention primarily to the breakout of white voters in the Survey USA polls. In order to win, Sonny probably needs about 64% of the white vote. Right now he's at 61-35 on job approval with white voters. Something tells me that a substantial number of the 37% of African Americans and Democrats who approve of the job he's doing won't vote for him, and that pads his overall numbers quite a bit. Should be a close race.
