A protracted pandemic, a contentious legislative session, and a contrarian stance against Trumpism may have taken a toll on Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s job approval rating with Arkansas voters.
But that’s a far cry from last October when voters’ opinions gave him a 69-23% rating. Nearly a year ago, Hutchinson boasted a 62-19% job approval rating during the height of social protests and a spike in coronavirus cases.
Q: Do you approve or disapprove of the job Gov. Asa Hutchinson is doing?
52% Approve
12.5% Don’t Know

Judging by some other results in our polling yet to be released, I’d say there is plenty of discontent among voters.”
