Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, R, earned the worst approval rating of any governor for her state in more than 20 years.
The 25th Annual Arkansas Poll, which is put together by the University of Arkansas Department of Political Science, was released Monday and showed Huckabee Sanders, a former press secretary for Donald Trump, scored a 48% approval rating.
It’s the lowest approval number an Arkansas governor, including Huckabee Sander’s father Mike Huckabee, the annual survey has recorded for 25 years.
Her predecessor, Asa Hutchinson, never received less than 57% approval in the survey. Respondents cited the economy as currently their biggest concern in the state.
The polling did show that Sanders still tops President Joe Biden and Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and John Boozman, R-Ark. Biden received 33% approval, while Cotton and Boozman received 42% and 40%, respectively.
The Arkansas poll was conducted October 4-22 among more than 800 people reached by phone. The data carries a margin of error of 3.5%.
