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.
