You mean polls that have consistently had him in the 70s of approval rating He was in the 40s literally last year with just about everyone, and even then 25% of Democrats didn't care enough to vote https://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2019/02/12/poll-murphys-approval-flat-as-disapproval-rating-increases-848572 Alpha218 posted... I fucking hated Christie but approved of the work he did after Sandy. This is the real reason for Murphy's approval ratings at the moment, but with corona. That's probably inflated by all the NY vacationers who are staying in their summer homes up north and down by the shore at the moment as well Alpha218 posted... Coronavirus Ravages Nursing Homes is an awful headline. Unfortunately thats been the case in multiple states. However it is drastically better than New Jersey is worse than Italy which was easily the kind of scenario that couldve occurred if there was a void of leadership like there is at the federal level. I wouldn't try downplaying the nursing home incident, because it's apparently the biggest concentration of most NJ deaths from what I've heard. Alpha218 posted... Also I care more about what health officials have to say than business owners do at the moment. I'm no pro-economist but considering how often the goalposts have been moved lately I'd like to think people would be starting to question how much is too much, especially when New York already has dates and guidelines for their reopening and Murphy only has "oh in a few weeks to a few months lol". One of his wild Tweets said it wouldn't be safe to reopen while people are still in hospitals. Does this dude honestly expect everyone to wait until everyone is out of NJ hospitals for Corona? lol, then there's the whole "wait for a vaccine" thing he's been pushing more than most nearby states. I live near Newark and they're starting to reopen June 1. I'm sure you think that sounds reckless af, but consider that Murphy's brilliant "curbside pickup" law means people are naturally exploiting it to try on clothes and even get their hair and nails done on the fricking street. We've already got a bunch of NYC stowaways so I doubt it's an anti-invasion tactic, this seems primarily about milking Trump for federal aid....for a second time. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. ...
