Deval Patrick was David Axelrod's political science project. "Together We Can" gave Massachusetts her first black governor. From Day One, he's been a disaster. Axelrod followed with Barack Obama, and with "change" and "hope", helped make him president. Obama's quick start has had questionable results.
Meanwhile, according to a recent Rasmussen poll,
How would you rate the job Deval Patrick has been doing as Governor… do you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove, or strongly disapprove of the job he’s been doing?
8% Strongly approve
26% Somewhat approve
26% Somewhat disapprove
39% Strongly disapprove
1% Not sure
The news for the governor of the nation's bluest state gets bluer.
How likely is it that you will vote for Deval Patrick for Governor in next year’s gubernatorial election?
13% Very likely
20% Somewhat likely
19% Not very likely
38% Not at all likely
9% Not sure
I wonder if Scott Rasmussen foresaw the significance of the follow question?
Who did a better job as Governor—Deval Patrick or Mitt Romney?
32% Deval Patrick
49% Mitt Romney
16% Neither
3% Not sure
The voters of Massachusetts could hardly wait for Romney to leave the commonwealth. The Democrats of Massachusetts couldn't wait to run the Republican out.
What a difference an unleashed liberal administration makes.
