Gov. Ernie Fletcher’s approval numbers continue to fall
Matt Gunterman October 18th, 2007
Not that it really much matters at this point, as this election is done except for the voting, but it appears that Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R) “peaked” a bit too soon in his campaign.
You’ll recall that two months ago Fletcher hit 40 percent approval for the first time in over two years. Last month, his approval dipped to 38 percent.
The Survey USA numbers for October are now out, and they show Fletcher continuing to fall. Currently, his approval disapproval stands at 36/60, worsening from 38/58 in September.
The biggest story in these figures, however, is that Fletcher’s support among Republicans, conservatives, and in western Kentucky is collapsing.
With less than three weeks left until the election, I can only imagine that Republicans are going to be absolutely demoralized by November 6. Why even bother turning out to the polls?
That’s bad news for down-ballot Republicans like Secretary of State Trey Grayson, especially when lazy people like me (who voted several weeks ago) just ticked the straight Democratic ticket box.

Perhaps Flip Flop Fletch needs to slightly alter the title of that song he likes much to “This Little Plight of Mine.”
I hope the entire republican ticket is losses. They were all part of the collusion to use the politics of hate to pit American against American so the Democratic party was split on social issues so they could win and implement their welfare for the rich programs.
