AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry's job approval rating, after rebounding earlier this year, slipped to 45 percent in a new poll released Wednesday.
Perry's job approval hit 51 percent earlier this year, his highest showing in three years of polling.
The latest poll of 1,000 adult Texans was conducted between April 14 and May 4. It has a margin of error of three percentage points.
The governor also had one of the highest negative ratings — 35 percent — of state officials in the poll.
"The governor never has and never will govern by polls," said his political director, Luiz Saenz. "The governor has received tremendous support from the grass roots."
Saenz noted that a number of statewide officeholders have endorsed Perry for re-election next year, including Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs, Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson and all three Texas railroad commissioners.
Hutchison remained the most popular Texas politician with a 67 percent job approval rating that includes strong support across political lines. |
