Okay, at 19% it is technically still double digits, but given that the reviled, detested and utterly evil George W. Bush had an all-time low approval-rating of 20%, which was also the lowest figure for any president in history, Patrick is really plumbing the depths.
The latest quarterly poll from MassInsight, a nonprofit research institute, spells more bad political news for Governor Deval L. Patrick: His job-approval numbers have plunged to levels not seen in decades for a Massachusetts governor.
In a survey of 445 residents, taken last month and released this week, only 19 percent of respondents gave him a positive job rating, while 77 percent rated it fair or poor. One percent said he was doing an excellent job. Those numbers are significantly worse than last month's Globe poll, which also found him to be struggling politically.
'Struggling politically' when used by liberal media to describe liberal politicians is a euphemism for 'getting his a@@ handed to him.'
The office pool is now open for your picks for the date after January 6, 2011 (when Patrick becomes unemployed) on which he joins the Obama Administration. You will get 1000 extra points (which have the same value as an Obama campaign promise) if you correctly name the department or position in which he will serve.
Good luck.

Maybe when they reach 25% approval, they should automatically be fired and investigated. Their only job is to do what the people want, and can only govern with the consent of the governed. 19% is not representing the people obviously, it is the exact opposite. He should be yanked out of office by his ears if necessary. The arrogance of these politicions who just do whatever they want and ignore the people, there needs to be accountability so this stops. If I didnt do my job the way I was supposed to, I would be fired tomorrow, but somehow, the law protects them so the damage is done. Stop electing morons!!
His official department or position = Idiot Czar?
