DescriptionLITTLE ROCK — Gov. Mike Huckabee’s job approval rating continues to drop, according to the Arkansas Poll by the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.

“This was not entirely unexpected and likely reflects back on the education reform issue,” said Janine Parry, assistant professor of political science and director of The Arkansas Poll, released today.

“The governor has said several times that he’s willing to fall on his own sword to improve education in Arkansas, and these numbers would seem to bear him out,” Parry said. “He may well end up sacrificing his political career on this issue.”

The poll, conducted Oct. 5-13, found Huckabee’s approval rating, which reached 70 percent in 2001 and dropped to 50 percent last year, slipping to 47 percent this year. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
