Rasmussen Reports:
Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Virginia voters continue to approve of the job new Governor Bob McDonnell is doing, according to a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state. That includes 29% who Strongly Approve.

Just 33% disapprove of the Republican governor's job performance, with 13% who Strongly Disapprove.

This marks virtually no change from mid-February just after McDonnell took office, succeeding Democratic Governor Tim Kaine.

Male voters give McDonnell slightly higher marks than women. Seventy-one percent (71%) of white voters approve of how he's handling his job, compared to 41% of African-Americans.

Eighty percent (80%) of GOP voters and 68% of voters not affiliated with either major party approve of McDonnell's performance. Fifty-four percent (54%) of Democrats disapprove.
