“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

As good at governance as he was at acting

Arnold's poll numbers drop from Terminator 2 levels down to Jingle All the Way:
For the first time, more than one poll shows his approval rating below 50 percent. According to one survey, 65 percent of Californians were satisfied with the Governor in January. Only 25 percent were dissatisfied. But by mid-March, that same poll showed his numbers dropping to 49 percent approval, and 39 percent dissatisfaction.

The latest survey, taken last weekend, shows him dead-even with 46 percent claiming to be satisfied and another 46 percent unhappy.

Another poll also shows Schwartzenegger’s ratings dangerously dipping below the 50 percent marker. Experts say that can be a big problem for an incumbent seeking reelection.

Any bets on when he gets to Batman And Robin levels?
