Support for governors sliding in states without vaccine mandates: survey

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Governors in states without vaccine mandates or in states where such mandates are banned have "significantly lower" approval ratings than their peers in other states on their handling of COVID-19, according to a new survey from the Covid States Project.

Specifically, governors in states with vaccine mandates are averaging 52 percent approval on their management of the pandemic. In states where there are no vaccine mandates, that figure dropped to 42 percent, and in places where mandates are banned, only 36 percent of people approved of the governors' handling of COVID-19, the survey found.

These findings could be temporary and the result of relatively recent COVID-19 spikes, but the authors of the study argued that support for vaccine mandates is a real factor in the public's perceptions of their state leadership.

"Our findings really suggest that individuals in our survey were rewarding these governors who took proactive steps to combat the pandemic and they were punishing governors who prohibited public health policies that would combat the pandemic like vaccine mandates," Alauna Safarpour, who helped conduct research for the study and serves as a fellow at the Harvard University's Kennedy School, told Politico.
