Everybody hates the GOP legislature

Nobody — and I mean nobody — thinks the Republican-controlled legislature is doing a good job, according to a recent SurveyUSA poll.

Mark Dayton has a solid 50 percent approval rating. With 33 percent disapproving, that gives him an excellent +17 net favorability rating. The legislature, on the other hand, has a 17 percent approval rating, and 65 percent disapproval, for a whopping -48 net favorability.

Sure, the usual caveats apply — an executive nearly always does better than a legislative body, people often feel better about their own representative than they do about the entire body, etc. No matter how much you try to stretch it, though, the numbers are ugly. It looks like Republican legislators are going to be getting what they deserve this November.
