Most Popular Governors: Here's How Whitmer Ranks In Popularity
MICHIGAN (PATCH) — When it comes to Michigan state government, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is the highest-ranking elected official, and her job is to represent a constituency whose views span a wide range of political values and public interests.
Because of this, her job is often subject to intense scrutiny — scrutiny that comes in the form of approval ratings.
Using approval ratings for governors across the U.S., 24/7 Wall St. this week released its most recent list of Most and Least Popular Governors in America.
