Politipoll June: First look at the new Governor and Congress

LOS SANTOS (WZL) — Last week Weazel continued the monthly tradition of asking the public their thoughts on our state government and their policies. Here are the results!

Governor Approval Ratings

With a new Governor in the chair, the first set of approval ratings are critical to explore what a month’s worth of work has produced in the minds of the people of this state. 

Results: Approve 35.7%; Undecided 38.1%; Disapprove 26.2%;

This is the highest approval rating for a Governor since February but nowhere near the height of the Paxton Administration. 

Government Satisfaction

Government satisfaction has dropped since the Tod Administration by roughly -9%. We can sort this decline of disapproval into two groups. The first being on-going tensions with hacker group ‘Mutiny’ and a group of concerned citizens saying promises have been broken surrounding H.R. 127.

Results: Very Satisfied 14.3%; Satisfied 40.5%; Unsatisfied 28.6%; Strongly Unsatisfied 16.7%

Overall Breakdown

A majority of the dissatisfaction with the government and disapproval of the governor come from the Dan White voting base with 30.8% of Dan White supporters stating they are strongly unsatisfied with the government. Only 7.7% of Dan White voting respondents approve of the current Governor.

Do you Trust your Government?

We found that only 50% of respondents trust the Government and 42.9% said no. 7.2% gave other options. An overwhelming Majority of McKenzie voters trust the government while a overwhelming majority (84.6%) of Dan White voters say they don’t trust the Government.
