Obama’s approval at new low in Kansas

Bush ObamaThe latest SurveyUSA poll, sponsored by KWCH, Channel 12, finds Kansans less enamored of President Obama than ever. In the survey, only 30 percent of Kansans approved of the job Obama is doing, down from 34 percent last month and 62 percent when he took office. For purposes of comparison: President Bush’s low of 35 percent approval in Kansas came in May 2006, when he was pushing comprehensive immigration reform that included a path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, Kansans are evenly split on the job performance of lame-duck Gov. Mark Parkinson, with 44 percent approving and disapproving. Last month, Parkinson’s approval rating was 48 percent.
