Datamar, the SD-based firm that made a big name for itself during last year’s special mayoral election, has released a survey of the approval ratings for the governor and legislature. The results include some other tidbits, including the public’s view of the Susan Kennedy selection, voluntary pre-school initiative, infrastructure proposal, and minimum wage:
San Diego – In the poll released today by Datamar Inc., a random sample of 2,068 California high-propensity registered voters—voters who voted in the 2002 recall gubernatorial election and the 2004 Presidential primary and general elections—gives Governor Schwarzenegger an approval rating of 42%, about twice that of the legislature (22%).
As to disapproval, the governor also fares much better than the legislature. Poll respondents give the governor a disapproval/approval rating of 50% to 42%. The legislature receives a whopping 66% to 22% disapproval/approval rating, with three times more respondents disapproving than approving the job performance of the legislature.

Perhaps we should ask for the GOP vs. Dem breakdown on some of these questions.
