You agree with rankings ? Should he placed at #1 on list ?

Connecticut's governor has remain his ranking as one of the least popular governors in the country

Malloy's disapproval rating was 70 percent. That's higher than the 64 percent it was earlier in the year.

The governor of Kansas is worse than Malloy.

I thought Kansas was a role model for fiscal stability and proper tax policy!

Adding more fuel to the first 8/10 of the least liked governors are Republicans.

he is a tool should be #1, I liked living in CT the 10 years I was there but glad I left for warmer and more southern climes a few years ago, more opportunity in FL than I ever had there, he loves to tax the feces out of everyone

His fiscal policies have not translated into the economic boom he sold the State of Kansas on. It just has meant more problems for the state. Jay

That was what my snide remark was getting at.

I don't have a well formed Malloy opinion because I'd already left state by the time he took office. I approve of the busway project and CT commuter rail extensions to Hartford. I'm not sure about his rating as an effective governor due to a few sources inside the state employee ranks. I've heard Malloy is more of a percent cut across the board leader instead of deep diving into specific department needs. Communications from his office to keep a close eye on anyone who talks with the press tells me he is also very concerned about what his underlings say.

Personally I'd still rank Malloy well above Chistie.

Chris Christie is better but not by much. At least Christie has logic and doesn't say "uh" every 3 seconds.

Malloy isn't great at all but honestly the general assembly and the state legislation take blame as well. Can't blame everything on the governor.
