Ferguson’s Approval Rating Hits Rock Bottom: What Went Wrong?

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson is experiencing a serious approval crisis. Recent polling indicates that his job rating in the first six months is the lowest for any governor since Mike Lowry back in 1993. With only 32% of voters feeling he’s doing a good job, it seems Ferguson might have bitten off more than he can chew. With a mix of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents voicing discontent, the situation is heating up!

What’s causing this dismal rating? Voter frustration is largely focused on new taxes and spending cuts, leading to feelings of betrayal among those who believed in Ferguson’s promises. As a result, 87% of the Republicans polled rated his performance as “fair” or “poor,” and even some Independents are shaking their heads. It looks like voters have had enough of leadership decisions that seem to miss the mark.

And while some applaud Ferguson’s fight against the Trump administration, a number of respondents complained he’s too preoccupied with partisan politics instead of focusing on the state’s needs. Honestly, this isn’t just a low approval rating; it’s a textbook case on how to polarize your constituents. So, what do you think, have you ever felt let down by a political leader’s promises? Sound off in the comments below!
