We told you this morning that Virginia Commonwealth University released a poll showing a mixed favorability rating for Gov. Bob McDonnell.
It’s really the first independent poll aiming to capture the governor’s approval rating since he took office in January—other than a poll commissioned in June by his political action committee, Opportunity Virginia, which pegged his approval rating at 63 percent.
Of the 810 adults surveyed, 10 percent rated McDonnell’s job as governor as excellent, 30 percent as good, 34 percent as fair and 10 percent as poor.
The poll also found that the most Virginians are unfamiliar with the Tea Party movement, which has not only grabbed headlines for the past year but could have sway in the Congressional elections this fall. Six‐in‐10 Virginians hold no opinion about the Tea Party movement, while 19 percent have a favorable view and 21 percent have an unfavorable view of the movement.
For those of you who want to dig a little deeper, here you go.
