2006 Maryland Governor Race

So a Washington Post Poll has a Governor with a 56% approval rating trailing trailing his opponent by 16 points.

"Overall, 56 percent approve of the way he handles his job, three in four say he is honest, even more say he is likable and two-thirds say he "has a vision for the state's future." A majority say he has done a good job protecting the Chesapeake Bay, and, despite his highly publicized battles with the Democrat-controlled General Assembly, six in 10 say he is "willing to make reasonable compromises." More than seven in 10 say he deserves credit for the state's projected budget surplus."

I wonder if the polling results have anything to do with the fact that the Governor is a Republican and the opponent a Democrat. No incumbent with a job approval rating approaching 60% lose.

Yeah, it doesn't pass the smell test - smells too much like the Chesapeake Bay docks on a hot day.

Isn't it funny, though, how the left continues to take comfort in such poll results, even as their hopes to translate the numbers into actual votes are frustrated time after time.

Not that I mind watching their little hearts break over and over again, but it is getting darned tedious manning the suicide hotlines every election night.

I notice that the ratio of Democrats to Republicans is not discussed in the article.
