A new Morning Consult poll released today finds that Wisconsin Democratic governor Tony Evers is the only governor up for reelection in 2022 with a negative approval rating:
“Among the 28 governors up for re-election this fall, just one — Democrat Tony Evers of Wisconsin — is viewed more negatively than positively by voters in his state: 45% of Wisconsin voters approve of his job performance, compared to 48% who disapprove.” https://t.co/hjVFNA7AkS pic.twitter.com/rDP9IQUyz1

The latest Marquette Law School poll, which was released yesterday, shows Evers’s approval rating in a better spot but still below 50 percent: “Approval of how Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is handling his job as governor stands at 49% in April, with 43% disapproval and 7% saying they don’t know.” But if Joe Biden’s job-approval rating remains stuck in the low forties, Evers will have a very difficult time in November in a state that Biden carried by less than one percentage point in 2020.
