What approval ratings indicate is subject to debate, but it’s interesting to see how some elected officials’ poll numbers have changed since they were elected. Zohran Mandani was elected with about 50 percent of the vote. He currently has a 47-35% favorability rating. It should also be noted that New York voters support raising personal income taxes on New York City residents who make at least $1 million by a 54-29% margin. (source here<\/a>). The favorability ratings for\u00a0Abigail Spanberger have also dropped.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Townhall<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

Well\u2026 well\u2026 well, Abigail Spanberger lied. She\u2019s a Democrat. You don\u2019t need to convince me that she was bad news. I didn\u2019t vote for her, but many Virginians did. She won by a 15-point landslide in the 2025 elections, which also saw a total lunatic, who wishes death upon his political rivals and their families, rise to the attorney general\u2019s office. People in this state are idiots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, she campaigned as a centrist when we all knew she was a radical leftist, and then her party introduced an avalanche of tax hikes and other nonsense. The result: a landslide win turned into an approval rating that\u2019s in the 40s a few months into her term (via WaPo<\/a>):\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger\u2019s approval rating stands at 47 percent two months into the Democrat\u2019s term, with 46 percent of voters disapproving and 7 percent expressing no opinion in a Washington Post-Schar School poll.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spanberger won in a 15-point landslide last year after touting her reputation for bipartisanship built on three terms representing a conservative-leaning district in Congress. But her current ratings reflect sharp polarization among Virginia voters in their views of the state\u2019s first female governor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing she has done should come as a surprise. In the past ten years, Democrats have made no secret of who they are–open borders, higher taxes, political redistricting, ignoring the Second Amendment, etc. I just hope Virginia can survive four years of Governor Spanberger. It is good news that in Virginia Governors cannot serve consecutive terms, so even if the voters love her, she cannot run for re-election in 2029.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
