Governor Candidate Favorabilities

Below is a chart looking at the favorabilities (or approvals for current office holders) of the 31 Gubernatorial candidates included on our final 18 polls. Some observations:

-The most popular candidates are Brian Sandoval, Tom Corbett, Sean Parnell, John Hickenlooper, and Eliot Cutler.

-The least popular candidates are Dan Maes, Libby Mitchell, Pat Quinn, Rick Scott, and Tom Emmer.

-The most popular candidates who are probably going to lose anyway are Cutler, Ethan Berkowitz, and Bill White.

-The least popular candidates who are probably going to win anyway or at least have a 50/50 chance are Paul LePage, Jerry Brown, and Bill Brady. Rick Scott and Tom Emmer have pretty good chances at winning despite low favorability numbers as well.

Here's the full rundown:

Sorry, but what a disaster of polls... No-one with the winner...

I never buy your numbers for IL-Gov.
