Rock Bottom - Part II

______________________

After months of bashing the people’s elected representatives and defending their Governor’s weak polling with “well at least our approval rating is better than that of the Legislature,” Team Arnold no longer has that line to fall back on.

In addition to illustrating the lack of support for the special election and the voter’s intense dissatisfaction with the Schwarzenegger agenda, the new PPIC poll shows the Governor’s disapproval rating is five points higher (58 percent – 53 percent) than that of the Legislature for the first time ever.

The irony of all of Schwarzenegger’s legislature-bashing is that the biggest press bumps the Governor is getting these days comes from signing Democratic-sponsored legislation, including Speaker Nunez’s energy bill and Sen. Jack Scott’s vocational education bill.

So, Team Arnold has tried beating up on teachers, nurses, firefighters, cops and the legislature and none of it has worked to improve his standing with the voters. Who will he go after next?
