“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.”

Arnold's poll numbers drop again

Bloomber reports on the latest from the Public Policy Institute of California:
Schwarzenegger's approval rating with Californians fell to an all-time low of 33 percent, down 61 percent from a year earlier and unchanged since he announced his re-election bid two weeks ago, according to a poll released today by the Public Policy Institute of California. All three ballot measures he's backing lost support since a similar survey in August.

The survey found that support for Schwarzenegger's teacher tenure measure fell to 43 percent from 49 percent a month ago, with 10 percent of those polled still undecided. Opposition to his spending measure, which would give him control to cut the budget without legislative approval, rose to 63 percent from 61 percent in August. Support for his redistricting measure remained about unchanged at 33 percent, with 17 percent still undecided.
