Flailing Connecticut Gov. to Represent ‘Sign of Progress’ at Obama State of the Union
President Barack Obama has invited Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy to sit in First Lady Michelle Obama’s box during the State of the Union address Tuesday evening.
According to the White House, those invited to sit in the First Lady’s box “represent the progress we have made since the President first delivered this speech seven years ago – from the brink of a second Great Depression and two costly wars to an economy that is growing and renewed American leadership abroad.”
“The guests personify President Obama’s time in office and most importantly, they represent who we are as Americans: inclusive and compassionate, innovative and courageous,” the announcement from the White House said."
---------
"...Connecticut voters sharply disapprove of Malloy, 58-32 percent, with 4-1 negative scores for his management of taxes and the state’s finances.
Only 58% of Democrats in the state approve of Malloy, while 86% of Republicans and 61% of independents disapprove. Men disapprove of the Governor at 62% and women at 55%.
A full 75% of Connecticut voters give Malloy a “not so good” or “poor” rating on the state’s economy, with only 5% of voters finding Malloy’s policies have helped them.
A Gallup poll in 2014 found Connecticut had dropped to dead last place in the nation in job creation, as workers reported the worst climate for hiring. CNBC also ranked the state among the five worst states for business in 2014."
------------
"A CNN/ORC poll last week found that 75 percent of Americans were “dissatisfied” with the (Obama's) governing of the country, with 69 percent at least “somewhat angry” about the situation."
"“This isn’t simply the weariness of voters with a President entering his eighth and final year, but a growing sense that he has failed on every major issue and leaves office with America weaker than when he arrived,” the report states."
Sounds like Obama may have chosen Malloy to be a quest because he didn't want anyone with a higher approval rating than he has...
