THE MORON STATE.
52%!!!! it should be like 40% or lower!
these smart pollsters stop there: ( well, first of all, are they really polling likely, or just registered, voters?).. when you do job-approvals, wouldn’t it be prudent to also line up the percentage of unemployed, vs. the nat’l avg., the percentage of people on entitlement programs, vs. the nat’l avg.,etc.??.. any place like this dumb, numb, clueless state will be among the last to give up the ghost and admit the total, abject FAILURE of this Administration to properly address any of our pressing problems, except with tax more, and spend us into oblivion more!.. (will the last grubber on all the programs in this pit, please be true to your “environmental concerns” and turn out the lights, as you’re the last to wake up and get the heck outa here?! )
