Gov's popularity has dipped only slightly
BROOKINGS, Biereland--While many of the nation's newly-elected governors have seen a drop in popularity, six months since the 2010 election, Biereland Gov. San Bartholomew is still relatively popular.
A new poll released by the Mercury Polling Firm shows the first-term Nationalist governor with a 52% approval rating, a slight drop of two points from his post-election 54% approval rating.
The same poll showed the number of those who disapprove has dropped from 44% in December to 38% in June.
The governor's approval ratings are higher than his likeability ratings, however. While 52% approved of Bartholomew, only 43% said they "like" him.
The state's first Nationalist governor, Bartholomew has yet to take on contentious issues such as environmental protection, transportation projects, and medical marijuana.
So far, aides say the governor is focused on improving the economy, but will introduce environmental legislation soon that will call for protection of millions of acres of state land.
