Daugaard 2nd most popular Governor in country
I should feel a little bad pointing out the obvious to South Dakota Democrats, but their willful blindness, as they’ve shifted hard to the left, is pretty hard to punch through despite using facts and a hard dose of reality.
Yesterday, I’d noted how Thune was tied for 9th most popular Senator in the country. Laughably, dems were out there yesterday claiming they still have time to find someone who can compete. Despite not much more than a month remaining until petitions have to be circulated, much less time to raise the money for a US Senate race.
He’s not running, but today’s dose of reality comes from the same poll – noting Governor Dennis Daugaard is the second most popular Governor in the country.
Leading the pack is Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican who won election in 2014. Nearly three quarters, 74 percent, of Massachusetts voters say they approve of the job Baker is doing, while just 14 percent say they disapprove.
About two-thirds of voters in four other states approve of the job their Republican governors are doing. South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard (R), Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple (R) and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) all have approval ratings north of 66 percent.
The simple fact of the matter is that Republican leadership is trusted in South Dakota, and Democrats are not even a hot mess, they’re just a mess.
