Last Friday, Sooner Poll released a survey showing the approval ratings of Mary Fallin and the Oklahoma legislature. The results? They're about as popular in Oklahoma as Barack Obama. In case you're new around here, that's not very good.
Via The Tulsa World:
Oklahomans are more dissatisfied with their own Legislature than they are President Barack Obama, and are only slightly happier with Gov. Mary Fallin, according to a poll released late Friday.
The Democratic chief executive has consistently scored low with Oklahoma voters and is generally viewed as deeply unpopular in the state. His numbers have improved slightly in recent months, but that is not why he’s suddenly in the same ranks as Fallin and the Republican-led Legislature when it comes to public perception.
In SoonerPoll.com’s statewide survey, Obama’s 36 percent favorable rating was 2 points better than the Legislature’s and only 3 points behind Fallin.
Wow. That's crazy. I thought the only things less popular in Oklahoma than Barack Obama were science, herpes and birth control. It's good to see the Oklahoma legislature finally make that list. If anyone deserves it, they do. It's the place where logic, reason and sanity goes to die. Now, if only there was a way to switch out the idiots who represents us in the legislature, maybe this state will finally become a better place to live. If you have any ideas on how to do that, let us know.
