Sarah Huckabee Sanders has lowest approval rating of any Arkansas governor in 20 years

Arkansas Republican Governor and former Trump White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has just a 48% approval rating among her constituents in a new poll, making her the state's least popular governor over the last two decades.

Respondents of the 25th annual Arkansas Poll — which queries residents on their approval of both elected officials and major issues like the economy, public education, and health — notably registered their dissatisfaction with Sanders' administration while she's in the midst of a corruption probe. CBS affiliate THV 11 reported that Sanders' approval rating among Arkansans is far below that of former Arkansas governors Asa Hutchinson, Mike Beebe, and her father, Mike Huckabee, who each polled at 57%, 70%, and 66%, respectively, in the first years of their administrations.

"A volatile economic and political environment is likely influencing some people’s general sense of well-being, in Arkansas and elsewhere," Arkansas Poll director Janine Parry said.
