RANK/NAME/NET JOB APPROVALPretty much a wash on the partisan scale, providing further evidence that the Democrats are far from dead in the South. How about that Joe Manchin?

19. Tim Kaine (D-VA), 22%

Not necessarily a wash: the average Dem approval rating is 16, whereas for Repubs it's 7.5.
I don't think it's a wash either. It shows that most folks in the South are dissatisified with their governors.
