Virginians Sour on McDonnell

A new Public Policy Polling survey finds Gov. Bob McDonnell’s (R) job approval at just 36% with 41% disapproving. His net approval rating has dropped 12 points in the last month, and for the first time since taking office he’s under water.

Key finding: “McDonnell’s ethics issues seem to be driving this downturn in his popularity. Only 31% of voters in the state consider him to be an ethical politician, compared to 45% who do not.”
