Those are the approval ratings of Republican governors Charlie Baker in Massachusetts, Larry Hogan in Maryland and Phil Scott in Vermont – three of the bluest states in the country.
While the Democrat Party is becoming more and more confined to the coasts, Republican governors are overwhelmingly popular everywhere – even in Democrats’ own backyard.
Recent polling shows the 11 most popular governors are Republican, with four of them being states that are more reliably blue than they are red.
