Ahnuld Rolling The Dice, Losing Popularity

Polling data on the Governor of California's support among voters clearly shows erosion. The Los Angeles Times had a column awhile ago by legendary political columnist George Skelton entitled "Self-Proclaimed Governor of the People Is Fading as Lord of the Polls." All around the blogosphere, other people are starting to also notice.

Now, Ahnuld is rolling the dice and spending eighty milllion dollars of California taxpayers' money in order to call for a special election in November.

Today the most accurate poll in California politics shows that Arnold's political fortunes are starting to resemble Gray Davis. His approval/disapproval rating is now at 37/53 (down from 53/35 in February 2005) with a margin of error of 3.2%.

   Approve  Disapprove
Among Democrats  16 (34)  76 (54)
Among Republicans  66 (84)  23 (11)
Among Non-Partisans 35 (48)  54 (38)

I never understood what Californians saw in Arnold as a governor and did not vote for him
in the recall. Looks like the rest of California is waking up....
