Crooks and Liars:
From a Chicago Tribune poll (10/22/08). Blagojevich was polling lower than George Bush (18%) and former Republican Gov. George Ryan, now said to be seeking a pardon from Bush. Blagojevich succeeded Ryan as governor in 2003.
Only 8 percent of the state's voters believe Blagojevich has lived up to his promise to end corruption in government—the hallmark of his initial election as governor in 2002 after the tenure of scandal-tarred Republican Gov. George Ryan. Three out of four Illinois voters said Blagojevich failed to keep his promise to end corruption in state hiring, contracts and appointments to state boards and commissions.
The poll found voter disapproval of Blagojevich to be even deeper than what Ryan faced during his final weeks in office as investigations swirled around him.
In October 2002, a Tribune poll found 23 percent of voters approved of the job Ryan was doing as governor, while 61 percent disapproved. Ryan was convicted on federal corruption charges and is in prison.
A 13% approval rate is not so good.
Overall, the survey of 500 registered likely voters conducted at the end of last week showed a mere 10 percent said they wanted Blagojevich re-elected in 2010, while three-fourths said they didn't want him back for a third term.
The survey also showed only 13 percent approved of Blagojevich's job performance, while 71 percent disapproved.
Add to the fact that Blagojevich is a former prosecutor himself for Cook County, and that today is his birthday (born December 10, 1956) and this is reduced to utter and complete farce.

If polled again, I bet it would be under 5%. Right now, more than 95% of people in Illinois think he should resign. I would guess his approval rating would be worse that those who think he should not resign.
The speculation is that this guy lost touch with reality, and is mentally ill.
No Mr. Kitty G-Rod is not ill he's knows to many people he worked with an can bring down with him. Look a quick resignation is like Nixon as to cover the other rich big names that could come out. Now I hope Lisa Lisa Madigan isn't on the list for the election. I read about her Dad Michael Madigan and his power control. Yes I know about the campaign fraud she did with raising the most money while running for AG. Daddy and Lisa Lisa's husband really did work the pay to play plan. Lisa's husband gave bonus money to employees who were told to turn it over the Lisa Camgaign wish gave her over 1 million dollars to pay for the job. As it was written Lisa's Father has plans for her to be Govenor and he'll do what ever it takes for her to get the job. If she gets to be Govenor history will be made twice. The first female Govenor and then the 6th Govenor to be indicted for crimes. Don't take a chance find someone else who's not already corrupt.
