40% Approve of Governor Blunt

Governor Matt Blunt's approval rating inched up 2 points in August to 40%, according to the latest SurveyUSA tracking poll.

While a majority 54% of Missourians polled still disapprove of the Governor, Blunt is making slow, steady progress since the tracking poll began back in May 2005, where he sat at a low of 33%. He received his highest marks from SurveyUSA this past June, when 42% of those polled gave Blunt a thumbs-up.

In the August poll, here in the Ozarks, voters are split.

46% approve of Blunt; 47% disapprove.

Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee scores a 57% approval rating.
