New Poll: All Four of America’s Most Popular Governors Are Republicans in Blue States

A new poll provides further proof that Americans support leaders who reject the political extremes of both parties and work across the aisle.

According to the Morning Consult poll, all four of America’s most popular governors are Republicans in blue states, including Governor Hogan at 70% approval. In contrast, a Quinnipiac poll out this morning found that only 36% of Americans approve of President Biden.

The overwhelming popularity of these leaders shows that Americans want bipartisan, common-sense leadership – not the partisanship and dysfunction that dominates in Washington DC today.

What They Are Saying:
Maryland Democrats Pushing “Radical” Gerrymandering, Overriding Will of Marylanders

While Governor Hogan is fighting for fair, non-partisan maps that are drawn by citizens, the Maryland legislature is working behind closed doors to make the state’s gerrymandering – already the worst in the nation – even more extreme.

Here is what they are saying about the Maryland legislature’s “radical” attempts to override the will of Marylanders and gerrymander the state for another decade:

Maryland Democratic Congressman Kweisi Mfume: “The issue of going to all-Democratic representation in the Congress in a state where we’ve got one third of the voters who are in fact Republicans, I don’t know how you sell something like that. I think that’s an overreach. For me, that’s a bridge too far.”

The Hill: “Maryland Democrats are considering a radical overhaul of congressional district lines that would give them a chance to win all eight of the state’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, putting the lone Republican representative at risk.”

**Fox News: **“Maps from the commission created by Maryland’s Democrat-controlled legislature got ‘F’ ratings from the Princeton Gerrymandering Project as the state grapples with a redistricting process that could eliminate its lone GOP member of Congress…The Princeton Gerrymandering Project dinged all four maps for an alleged lack of partisan fairness and poor geographic features – meaning the districts are not compact and split counties in many cases. Meanwhile, it gave the lone map released by a ‘Citizens Redistricting Commission’ created by GOP Gov. Larry Logan an ‘A.”

Daily Caller: “According to an internal poll commissioned by Change Maryland, an advocacy organization supportive of Hogan, 77% of Marylanders supported drawing maps with a non-partisan independent commission, compared to just 12% who wanted maps drawn by incumbent politicians.”
