Poll shows popularity problems for Manchin, Holgorsen
[WVMETRONEWS] U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin is taking a hit in the polls, and so is West Virginia football coach Dana Holgorsen.New numbers released this week from Public Policy Polling showed West Virginia voters gave Manchin a 46-percent approval rating, while 44 percent disapproved. The last time PPP questioned voters about Manchin in 2011, his approval rating stood at 61 percent. Pollsters with PPP said Machin may be suffering from the Obama effect. In only one other state is President Barack Obama They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them... more unpopular than he is in West Virginia right now. Voters surveyed said they support impeaching the president by a 49 percent to 37 percent margin. Obama's favorability rating in the Mountain State sits at 28 percent. Manchin's numbers are higher, but they're not that different from U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) who is not seeking re-election next year. Only 45 percent of those questioned approved of Rockefeller's job performance, while 46 percent disapproved. Posted by: Fred 2013-09-27 |
