Poll: Snyder approval rating sinks to new low
Lansing Michigan Gov. Rick Snyders job approval rating continues to sink and has again reached an all-time low as the embattled Republican works to address the Flint water contamination crisis.
A new statewide poll for The Detroit News and WDIV-TV shows 54 percent of likely Michigan voters disapprove of Snyders job performance. The survey of 600 Michigan residents, conducted July 30-Aug. 1 by Glengariff Group Inc., pegged the governors approval rating at 39.7 percent.
The numbers are the worst of Snyders nearly six-year tenure but consistent with a late May survey, when 52 percent of voters said they did not approve of his job performance. The 2-percentage-point change falls within the polls margin of error of plus-or-minus 4 percentage points.
