Sanders in her first year on the job has an approval rating of 48% according to voters asked about her performance. This is the lowest in the last 20 years, but higher than U.S. Senators Tom Cotton (42%) and John Boozman (40%) as well as President Joe Biden (33%).
In his last year in office, former Governor Asa Hutchinson garnered a 59% approval rating and never had an approval rating lower than 57%.
And in their first year in office, the three previous governors had an approval rating of at least 57%, with Hutchinson at 57%, Gov. Mike Beebe at 70%, and Gov. Mike Huckabee at 66%.
The last time an Arkansas governor had a lower approval rating was in 2003 when Gov. Huckabee had 47% support. That would jump to 58% one year later.
Good job dummies. You got exactly what you voted for, another Huckabee flunky.
The article also says Biden had a 33% approval rating. JFC. GDP is up 5% and unemployment is like 3-4%.

Right? Are they asking only republicans?
It’s Arkansas. That’s all they got.
As an Arkansas non-republican…can confirm.
How did Bill Clinton get elected gov there?
That was like 40 years ago.
That was before the #christofascists took over.
That was before the full party sort had occurred with the advent of Fox News.

Ah, but the interest rates are high so the oligarch class that own almost all media are telling the American people that the economy is bad because the venture capitalists actually have a cost to borrow the capital to run their next Ponzi scheme.
That makes sense. Good economy bad!
Primary difference is GOP is a cult. 40% of the population will support you even if you’re drowning babies on fox news, if you have an ® before your name.
Independents and Dems will largely admit their guy is screwing up and make it known. Sometimes even start looking for a new guy before giving the old guy a chance to recover.
This mentality is why the GOP is still a thing, dems will leap off a flailing candidate like rats off a sinking ship and find a new candidate, while the GOP will go down with ship, burning dumpster fire and all, they only accept new blood when the old are finally dead and gone.
Bruh, republicans are dumber than dogshit.
GDP is up 5% and unemployment is like 3-4%.
GDP measures the market value of all goods and services to the rich people who it all. It doesn’t take inflation and cost of living expenses such as the skyrocketing rents into account. It’s a measure of how well the top 10-15% are doing, not regular workers.
Likewise, the official unemployment statistics count critically underemployed and underpaid people and people who work without getting paid as equally employed as someone collecting great pay and benefits for doing their dream job. Most of the jobs added from some time during the late aughts to now have been low-paying part time jobs with no health insurance that are literally the next worst thing to unemployment.
What I’m getting isn’t that any of this is necessarily Biden’s fault. My point is that both are poor measures of how well things are going for regular people and in fact things are just as bad as they were before and right after the height of the pandemic. In some ways even worse.
She’s a nepo baby that doesn’t understand how life actually works. People who don’t have a firm grasp on reality tend to make poor leaders.
Good Lord it looks like being a governor of Arkansas is the easiest damn job in the country. How the hell is it so easy to get a high approval rate? They don’t do anything. I guess that’s why they like them.
48 percent still seems high for how much of an absolute fuck up she is and how much bullshit she wastes time on. I mean Arkansas is basically the bottom of every list and her solution is banning “woke” words and to commit some fraud
Does she still get pissed off when someone calls her ‘smokey-eyed?’
O.o
How badly do you have to fuck up as a Republican governor in a Republican state?
