Maryland residents say Gov. Martin O’Malley, a Democrat, is doing a worse job than President Bush, according to a new poll released yesterday.
\nMarylanders gave Mr. Bush, a Republican, a 36 percent job-approval rating, just slightly more than the 33 percent they gave Mr. O’Malley, according to the Fox 5\/The Washington Times\/Rasmussen Reports poll.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A separate poll in Virginia shows 51 percent of residents approved of the work Gov. Tim Kaine, a Democrat, is doing, while 46 percent approved of Mr. Bush’s work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Times continues;<\/p>\n

Mr. O’Malley’s approval rating slipped 1 percentage point from October, before he called lawmakers back to Annapolis to raise $1.4 billion in taxes. But respondents who said he was doing a “poor” job increased from 30 percent to 37 percent.
\nO’Malley spokesman Rick Abbruzzese declined to comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, wait’ll Marylanders start paying that tax and see how unpopular he gets.<\/p>\n
