Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick Behind in Polls to Republican Challenger Christy Mihos

Yet another Democrat incumbent Governor is in trouble in the polls.

In a recent Rasmussen poll, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick lost ground to Republican challenger Christy Mihos 40% to 35%. In June, Mihos had a 1% lead over Patrick. The important part of polls is not the snap shot, but trending. Patrick seems to be losing ground as is President Barack Obama in the health care debate. How much of the anti-incumbent sentiment against Democrats is tied to Barack Obama and his waning poll numbers with Obamacare and Obamanomics?

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has an even longer way to go now if he wants to win a second term next year.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Massachusetts voters shows the Democratic incumbent trailing potential Republican challenger Christy Mihos 40% to 35%. Eleven percent (11%) like some other candidate, and 15% are not sure.

Sorry to repeat myself, but again- want to say that Deval will not get re-elected to a second term. His track record speaks for itself and most Mass residents are NOT impressed!

Adios, Gov. Patrick! We had such high hopes for you….you did disappoint!

Greg- even here in the land of Taxachusetts itself—there is such a thing of TOO many taxes if you can believe it.

BayStaters are livid that this Gov. spent beyond control and has had many problems in office giving residents what we really want and need. He made such a good initial impression…ALL TALK, all smoke and mirrors—kind of an empty suit…………..Hmnnnnnnnnnnn….who does that remind us of? The obvious comparison! Please…he resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue until the rest of America catches on.
