As is true for every politician voted into office across all levels of government, approval ratings are very important to governors – both for political clout and, for those who are up for re-election, job security.

Governor approval ratings are based on survey data collected during the fourth quarter of 2019 and range from 32% to 69%. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves were not included on this list, because they assumed office after the survey was conducted.
