| Description | CHICAGO - Governor Rod Blagojevich has piled up a lot of campaign cash since his election in 2002 but his popularity figures have not followed suit.
According to an automated phone poll taken by SurveyUSA, a nationally polling operation, the job Governor Blagojevich has done in his nearly three years in office meets with the approval of only 36% of Illinoisans while 56% of Illinoisans disapprove of the job he has done.
The poll was of 600 Illinois adults with a margin of error of +/- 4.1%. The data was collected from September 16-18 and was commissioned in conjunction with KSDK-TV (St. Louis). The timing of the data collection for the survey coincides with the news cycle in which the Governor was besieged with questions over his involvement with the dealings of state pension funds after Chicago attorneys Joe Cari and Steve Loren entered into plea agreements with federal prosecutors last week, admitting their roles in an alleged extortion scheme they say was designed to generate campaign contributions.
