“We need to give voters more credit than some talking heads and pundits tend to do,” said Steven Greenberg, pollster for Siena College. “Voters see (governors) a lot closer and know a lot more about what they re doing, and therefore can nuance their views (better).”
Polarization - particularly in presidential battleground states - also seems to limit the swing of approval numbers these days. Although most governors saw a double-digit boost in approvals during the early months of the pandemic, most politicians have seen those gains come back to Earth as the partisan divide over COVID deepens.
Bigger swings have been seen in states without deeply-sowed partisan lines, as the most popular governors in the country during the pandemic were moderate Republicans leading traditionally-blue states, according to data intelligence company Morning Consult.

It’s that time of year again.
This week, CPAC the Conservative Political Action Conference founded in 1974 will lay siege to Orlando instead of Washington, D.C., amid a global pandemic that has, as of this week, taken a staggering 500,000 American lives. Hopes of mask-wearing and social distancing seem as likely as a panel on the return to fiscal conservatism. (I checked. There isn’t one.)
As a young, up-and-coming movement conservative, I attended this conference a number of years, spoke on panels, signed books and autographs, posed for pictures, did radio row. It was an opportunity to network, socialize and gain exposure, and I usually enjoyed it.

Like Julius Caesarâs Gaul, todayâs Republican Party is divided into three parts: Never Trumpers, Sometimes Trumpers and Always Trumpers.
The overwhelming GOP vote against impeaching and convicting former President Donald Trump shows the Always Trumpers remain dominant. The Never Trumpers have found the going tough. Now, Sometimes Trumpers are beginning to emerge.
The power struggle among these three factions is already proving to be bitter, epitomized by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnellâs sharp post-impeachment criticism of Donald Trump and the former presidentâs heated response, and will affect whether Republicans can regain the House and Senate next year and the presidency in 2024.
