Gov. Bredesen's Popularity Evaporates - Especially Among Democrats

Survey USA has the July approval ratings for all 50 governors. As expected, the popularity of Governor Bredesen (D) continues to evaporate. The Tennessee Governor is currently making the largest cuts to health care in the history of the country. Disabled and sick protesters have been camped out in his office suite inside the state Capitol for three weeks now.

The Democratic Governor is liked best by White Republicans.

Bredesen's disapproval rating is highest among Democrats and minorities.
