More polls, more proof that the Republicans are in deep shit. The big news of the day comes out of Arizona where Janet Napolitano is more popular than George Bush
among Republicans
Gov. Janet Napolitano, a Democrat, appears to be more popular among Republicans than President Bush is among all Arizona voters.
In an Arizona Republic Poll of 600 voters statewide, 43 percent of voters gave Bush a rating of "good" or "very good," compared with his 55 percent victory in last year's presidential election.
Napolitano scored an overall approval rating of 57 percent. Among Republicans alone, she had 46 percent approval, or 3 percentage points more than Bush's overall standing.
State Republican Chairman Matt Salmon acknowledged Monday that Napolitano is running strongly but said he is not worried about fielding "an extremely competent and qualified candidate" against her.
"I'm certainly not writing this race off," Salmon said.
Translation: "We're fucked"
