A new poll finds Governor Rick Snyder’s popularity has dropped since backing “right to work” legislation. The Detroit Free Press reports the poll by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling of North Carolina found 38% of those surveyed approve of Snyder’s performance as governor, while 56% disapprove. The weekend before the November election, PPP found Snyder’s approval rating at 47%. The poll also found Snyder trailing in hypothetical matchups with potential Democratic candidates, including former Congressman and state Representative Mark Schauer of Battle Creek.
