I do, but it is not the economy going down the drain today. It is Governor Deval Patrick's polling numbers.  

Just within the last month Governor Patrick's favorable ratings have dropped to 45%.  More dangerous for Deval are his negatives.  They have now climbed to 50%.  It is a very bad sign for an elected official when your negatives are higher than your positives and you hit the 50% mark with negatives.  These numbers put any chance of the Governor seeking re-election into serious jeopardy. 

Why is Governor Patrick in trouble???

Here are a few ideas:

Of course, people are still disappointed about his property tax lie. His latest stumble of failing to release his transportation plan while working to increase tolls by $7 is most likely the cause. Talk about being late with your homework. Voters might be angry over his comment last week that he has cut all the fat in the state budget. I guess he does not consider his program to pay state workers to volunteer wasteful spending. Also he wants us to ignore that he increased his personal office budget by 80% while accumulating $1 billion budget deficit.

The $1 billion in corporate welfare for the bio-tech industry may be another issue.

Why do you think Patrick's numbers are sinking faster than the economy?
