Something interesting to note with battleground state data that has been released a short while ago.
Gallup: January 2-December 29, 2014
Obama Approval ratings in Senate Battleground States (this is the YEARLY average, the President’s current numbers are actually lower in EACH of these states).
- Alaska: 33.5%
- Arkansas: 34.9%
- Colorado: %42.3
- Georgia: 45.4%
- Iowa: 42.5%
- Kentucky: 35.1%
- Louisiana: 40%
- Michigan: 47.7%
- Montana: 33.1%
- New Hampshire: 44.6%
- North Carolina: 43%
- Oregon: 45.4%
- South Dakota: 31.7%
- Virginia: 46.4%
- West Virginia: 25.1%
The current numbers may be lower, but I see one particular thing that makes sense.
You have to love Michigan’s push for medicaid expansion, and ceding to the Obamacare plan along side other progressive Obama ‘likes’ such as common core, A21, and transportation schemes. The highest appreciation for Obama, coming from the state that is controlled by Republicans.
Because Republicans manage those failed progressive schemes so much better than the Democrats.
