Blago Less Popular Than Bush In Illinois

You’d think that a “blue” state completely controlled by “blue” legislators and ruled by a “blue” governor would be a paradise for all “blue” leaders, but things aren’t too great for Governor Rod Blagojevich — more people like President Bush than they like Blago. The free bus rides for seniors don’t seem to be paying off because the seniors’ children know they’ll be paying the bill for years to come.

Writes the Chicagoist:

The CTA bailout passed, and now we can move on to that other chronic political problem: Governor Blagojevich. Just how much of Mr. Testicular Virility are Illinois residents willing to take? Judging by a new Chicago magazine article about the embattled gov, “Mr. Un-Popularity,” not much. In that article, the Capital Fax Blog’s Rich Miller suggests that Blago is the most unpopular governor in the country, with approval ratings that have sunk as low as 16 percent (which, Bernstein notes, is worse than President Bush polls in Illinois, one of the country’s bluest states).
