Americans HATE Governors Who Downplayed Coronavirus

[luckyshot]

This is perhaps the most damning polling I've seen yet for Republicans in 2020... and it isn't directly about Trump (but I think he has a lot to do with it).

Instead it's about governors.

These are the ratings for Governors' responses to Covid 19...
Reynolds- IA- 26%
DeSantis- FL- 29%
Ducey- AZ- 30%
Ige- HI- 31%
Little- ID- 34%
Reeves- MS- 34%
Stitt- OK- 35%
Abbott- TX- 35%
Kemp- GA- 36%

Well, well, well. Notice a trend? Almost all Trumpy GOP Governors... who followed Don the Con's lead in pushing for an early economic reopening and minimizing the danger of Covid.

Now, who are the most popular Governors on Covid response?
Scott- VT- 76%
Hogan- MD- 71%
Baker- MA- 68%
Lamont- CT- 65%
Whitmer- MI- 64%
Sununu- NH- 63%

Notice something here: these are a mix of Democrats and Blue State Republicans who bucked Donald's desires, imposed strict lock down measures, never downplayed Covid, and did not reopen early.

This to me, more than anything else, shows that the nation is rejecting the rhetoric, tone, and style of Trump on the most important issue of the year and the election. It explains why the wind is blowing the wrong way for the GOP and why Biden leads in several states that Trump won in 2016 (AZ, FL) and why some others are way more competitive than they should be (GA, IA, TX).

Mike DeWine and Larry Hogan are Republican Governors with high approval ratings because they actually listened to science and not Bunker Boy

See how they caused 200,000 deaths in less than a year with this one trick!

Phil Scott (VT), Charlie Baker (MA), and Chris Sununu (NH) are all New England Republicans who are among the most popular Governors in the country-- for the same reason.

This just shows that it isn't a partisan issue. Americans perceive the "Trumpy" response to have been shit... not because they are Democrats or Republicans, but because they think it was shit.

The correlation you're asserting doesn't exist:

The correlation you're asserting doesn't exist:

Lol, look at your own graph... the correlation absolutely exists. Look at the states where the Governors' responses are most unpopular:

AZ: Trump's response is unpopular; governor follows it and tanks.
OK: Ditto
TX: Ditto
IA: Ditto
FL: Ditto (except both started out as 'meh' then tanked)
GA: Both unpopular

Only two of those "Trump" states are in the top 10 deaths per capita, lol.

And two of your "most approved" states are top 10 deaths per capita.

So I guess all I can conclude here is the amount of deaths has no correlation to how well a governor is perceived to have done. All this says is that the poll takers are retarded.

Yet the ones with the highest "ratings" had higher per capita deaths than the ones with lower ratings. Harsher lockdowns with shittier results, yet the partisan dolts still pat them on the back. That combined with the thread where respondents trust Putin and Xi Xinping is pretty good evidence of what NPCs left wingers are. The man in the TV said it, so it must be true.

It plainly does not.

How is it "partisan" when 4 of the 6 most popular Governors on the issue are Republicans from Blue States?

The judgement has to do with the actions the Governors took or did not take, not party affiliation.

He's just hoping you didn't look at the graph, like he didn't.

This really shows just how effective the media can be at misleading people. Like we discussed in the Georgia thread, there is nothing remarkable at all about Georgia, or Florida, or Texas. All 3 are very close to the US average deaths per capita. Yet because the media harped on about those 3 for a month, they are perceived to have had some horrible response, when the numbers show they were just absolutely average and boring.

You see how in all the states I mentioned where the Governors' responses are currently unpopular, they got more unpopular over time as they adopted the Trump-approved quick reopening?

That's a data pattern called a correlation, I believe.

Your conclusion can be that all Americans are retarded if you want it to be.

Or you can conclude that more densely populated states that got hit with Covid earlier before doctors knew how to deal with it had higher death rates.

Either way, the reality remains: the "Trumpy" response is massively unpopular.

Mate, several of the highest rated states have some of the highest deaths per capita of anywhere in the world. Does that honestly not make you scratch your head?

Massachusetts is on the list of most favorable governors. Massachusetts has the 3rd highest deaths per capita in the US. If they were a country, they would be the worst performing country in the world by a sizable margin.

And they, while being a Democratic state overall, have a Republican Governor. Hence, demonstrably NOT a partisan response, as you claimed it was.

Follow?

I've got this feeling that this thread won't work out like Lucky Bot thought it would...

 

[Hadron90]

Hawaii is on your list of lowest rated governors. Hawaii has fewer deaths per capita than Switzerland and Denmark. It is one of the best performing regions in the world.
