Poll: Nevada governor's job approval rating stands at 30 percent

RENO, Nev. - Gov. Jim Gibbons, under an FBI investigation for his relationship to a defense contractor while he was a congressman, has a 30 percent job approval rating after his first four months in office, according to a poll published Sunday. snip

The FBI has opened a corruption investigation into the former five-term congressman's relationship with a defense contractor. A former partner at the company has alleged that Gibbons received money, travel, pokers chips and other favors to help it win government contracts.

Subsequent disclosures that Gibbons' wife, Dawn, was a paid consultant for another defense contractor have raised more questions about her husband's time on the House Armed Services and Intelligence committees.

Before the election, Gibbons' double-digit lead in the polls vanished after he was accused of assaulting a Las Vegas cocktail waitress in a parking garage and of hiring a Peruvian housekeeper while she was in the country illegally.

1. The guy was a known putz and yet he won the election. And I
just could not understand the rationale of those that voted his crooked mysoginistic ass into office.

2. Nevadans squandered a perfectly good opportunity
Amazing that they turned out to vote this corrupt shitheel into the governor's mansion in the face of revelations just prior to the election. I can see hard-core Republicks voting for him, but I didn't know there were enough of them in Nevada to get Gibbons elected without lots of help from 'undecideds' and 'non-partisans.'

From the article:

Asked if they could vote again for governor, 39 percent favored Republican Gibbons and 38 percent backed his Democratic opponent, Dina Titus _ a statistical tie. Gibbons defeated Titus by 4 percentage points last November.


Let's see how the Gibbons-lovin' crowd feels about their man once indictments rain down on his head!

3. Typical republican - "under FBI investigation."
- relationship with a defense contractor - check
- assault a woman in a garage - check
- having an illegal housekeeper - check
- wife a paid consultant - check

BUT, he's probably a good christian with traditional family values.
