Lucianne.com links to a MorningConsult poll reporting the popularity of the nation's 50 governors' with their citizens. Twenty-three of the governors are Democrats, and 27 are Republicans.
If you're curious, the 10 states with the most popular governors are these, listed in order from 1 to 10: MA, MD, NH, VT, ND, WY, AR, TX, FL, and AL.
The most popular 10 governors are all Republicans; incidentally, so are nos. 11-14. I don't see that those 10 states have a lot in common, do you?
For contrast, see the the 10 states with the least popular governors. Here they are, ranked from 41 to 50: NJ, IL, MI, WV, CA, VA, OR, RI, KY, and CT.
Eight of these 10 governors are Democrats. These states likewise seem dissimilar.
What do these findings mean, in aggregate? Maybe you can conclude, as an extremely sweeping generality, that Republican governors tend to be more popular - the top 14 are all Republicans.
It amuses me that the Gov. Gordon of my home state of WY ranks no. 6, while Gov. Newsom of my former residence, CA, ranks no. 45. It "amuses" but certainly does not surprise.
