| Description | A Republican Party-commissioned poll shows that more than two-thirds of respondents want someone other than Ernie Fletcher to be governor, and said that even his acquittal or dismissal of legal charges wouldn't help their views of the state's embattled chief executive.
The Washington-based pollster Jan R. van Lohuizen, who has done work for the campaigns of U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell and Fletcher, described the results in a memo as "devastating" for the Republican governor.
Of the 500 respondents from across the state, 69 percent said they wanted to give someone else a chance to be governor, while just 25 percent thought Fletcher deserved re-election.
Only 38 percent approved of Fletcher's job performance, while 56 percent disapproved.
And 44 percent blamed Fletcher primarily "for scandals in Frankfort." Democratic Attorney General Greg Stumbo, who has led the probe into the Fletcher administration's hiring practices, was blamed by 14 percent. |
