Poll: Majority of Valley Voters gives Dem Leaders Low Marks

President Barack Obama, Governor Jerry Brown, and Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer are not getting good job reviews from a majority of registered voters here in the Central Valley.

According to a new and exclusive Action News Poll... conducted by SurveyUSA... all four Democratic leaders earned low marks on job approval from respondents here in the Valley, but the numbers tell a different story for the rest of the Golden State.

Let's start with the President.

SurveyUSA asked 530 registered voters in California this question: Do you approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as President?

Overall, the President earned a "thumbs up" in the poll... with 51% answering "Approve" to 44% "Disapprove" and 5% "Not Sure".

Those results nearly flip-flop for the Central Valley.

41% Approve -- 52% Disapprove -- 6% Not Sure

Other regions of the state "Approve" of the President's job performance except for the Inland Empire where the results are basically split 49% to 47% with 4% undecided and the margin of error in the poll at "plus or minus" 4.3%.

Survey USA Editor Jay Leve says President Obama's job approval numbers have been trending down in California for some time and remember California is considered a "Blue" state.

Leve says "Obama's Net Job Approval has fallen in California from Plus 20 at the beginning of the year to Plus 7 today. This is not good news for the President. Among California Hispanics, as one example, the President has gone from Plus 32 in January to Plus 1 today."

Governor Jerry Brown also has job trouble that could impact his plea to voters to approve his tax hike initiative in November.

According to the Action News Poll... 41% Approve of the Governor's job performance while 47% Disapprove with 12% Not Sure.

Governor Brown gets even lower marks in the Central Valley: 38% to 52% with 10% Not Sure.

The results are mixed for California's two U.S. Senators.

Dianne Feinstein: Overall... 46% Approve -- 40% Disapprove -- 15% Not Sure Central Valley... 38% Approve -- 49% Disapprove -- 13% Not Sure

Barbara Boxer: Overall... 38% Approve -- 44% Disapprove -- 18% Not Sure Central Valley... 32% Approve -- 48% Disapprove -- 20% Not Sure

Duhh...this is no surprise...the valley has historically leaned against Democrats. The sad part is that the Republicans aren't doing the valley any favors.

Any UK Dave’s Picks buyers get charged customs? I did – added another £11.30 on to the cost. No sub for me next year if this is going to happen, sadly it makes it unaffordable – buying from Spin CDs at their inflated prices will be cheaper when I take into account shipping and then customs.
