69.8 % of Kentuckians either strongly or somewhat approve of the job being done by Democratic Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear, according to cn|2’s recent poll.
That’s much higher than Beshear’s Rasmussen numbers of 54 % strongly or somewhat approve.
Former Republican Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher’s approval numbers, by comparison, were in the mid to upper 30s when he faced the electorate for re-election after the job hiring scandal had played out. Approval ratings in the lower 40s or below usually indicate a vulnerable incumbent.
