May 2022 Group Watch: Gov. Ivey Remains Among Nation’s Most Popular Governors
Governor Kay Ivey has once again been rated as one of the most popular state chief executives in the nation. A nationwide survey was conducted January 1 through March 31 and consisted of at least 601 registered voters in each state. According to the survey, 62 percent of Alabamians approve of Gov. Ivey’s job performance. Her approval rating ranks 8th among all governors and is the highest in the Southeastern United States. The data found by Morning Consult, one of the nation’s most respected research and intelligence firms, mirrors that collected by the firm in 2021. Ivey is currently seeking to serve a second term as Alabama’s 54th governor. While earlier polling showed the governor avoiding a runoff, garnering almost 60 percent support among likely voters in the May 24 primary election, polling in recent days shows Ivey still leading her opponent, but at a margin that leaves the door for a possible runoff.
