Don Surber of the Daily Mail, on West Virginia’s Senate race between Gov. Joe Manchin, D, and businessman John Raese:

Here is what West Virginians think of their president:

17% Strongly approve
12% Somewhat approve
12% Somewhat disapprove
58% Strongly disapprove

That negates what they think of Manchin as governor:

36% Strongly approve
34% Somewhat approve
18% Somewhat disapprove
11% Strongly disapprove

That’s 70%/29% job approval. That should be gold. George Washington should be so lucky.

Lucky for George Washington, he didn’t have a president with 70 percent disapproval to drag him down.
