  • Governors Ranked--5 Dramatically Impacted by Katrina

    Survey USA has posted the approval ratings of all U.S. governors based on polling taken between 9/16-9/18 rating. What's striking is the dramatic shift in approval ratings for governors directly impacted by Hurricane Katrina.



    Survey USA explains:
    Barbour went from a Minus 7 Net Job Approval in August to a Plus 19 Net Job Approval today, a 26-point increase.


    4 other Governors affected by hurricanes also surged:
    • Alabama's Bob Riley (R) went from Net Zero in August to Plus 21 today, a 21-point increase.
    • North Carolina's Mike Easley (D) went from Plus 15 in August to Plus 34 today, an 19-point increase. (NC was hit by Ophelia in the days immediately prior to these interviews.)
    • Georgia' Sonny Perdue (R) went from Plus 9 in August to + 27 today, a 18-point increase.
    • Texas' Rick Perry (R) went from Minus 13 in August to Plus 4 today, a 17-point increase.
    Of the Governors hit by hurricanes, only Louisiana's Kathleen Blanco (D) showed a sharp decline, from Plus 7 in August to Minus 15 today, a 22-point drop.
    Governor Lingle is doing well with a 61% approval rating.
