NM Gov. Lujan Grisham Among Most Unpopular Governors

A new poll has found that New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is one of the most unpopular governors in the country.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reported:

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s disapproval rating increased in the second quarter of the year, making her the sixth most unpopular governor in the country, according to a survey released Thursday by research firm Morning Consult. 

Forty-four percent of New Mexico voters surveyed approved of the Democratic governor’s job performance while 43 percent disapproved, according to the survey. In the first quarter, 41 percent approved while only 33 percent disapproved. 

That’s a net approval rating of 1 percentage point for the April through June period, down from 8 percentage points for the January through March period. 

The governor’s higher disapproval rating may be due to her positions on hot-button issues such as gun control and abortion, which were strongly opposed by conservatives during the legislative session, longtime New Mexico pollster Brian Sanderoff said.

The New Mexico House Republicans posted:

Santa Fe New Mexican: "Poll finds Lujan Grisham among most unpopular governors with 43% disapproval rating." Was it the tax increases, anti 2nd amendment bills, increases to household energy costs, unsustainable budget growth, incoherent border policy, or all of the above?

I'd say so (all of the above)!
