3. Low, but they always were, and he was somehow re-elected

Gov. Paul LePage registered at 58 percent disapproval among Mainers in the latest survey conducted between May and September, which barely moved from the group’s past two surveys released in May 2016 and November 2015.

Only four governors — Republicans Sam Brownback of Kansas, Chris Christie of New Jersey and Rick Snyder of Michigan and Democrat Dan Malloy of Connecticut — had higher disapproval ratings than LePage.

Most of this survey was done before the governor’s latest controversy over remarks about black and Hispanic drug dealers and his profane voicemail to a Democratic legislator who criticized him, but LePage’s approval numbers have been pretty consistent over the years.

In biannual surveys from Critical Insights going back to 2011, he has ranged between 31 percent and 47 percent approval, most often falling within three points of 40 percent.
