AUSTIN (January 26, 2012)—A new poll shows that Texas Gov. Rick Perry's approval rating in his home state is at a 10-year low and that more than half of the Texans surveyed don't want him to run for another term as governor.
The telephone survey of 806 Texans, paid for by a group of Texas' largest newspapers, found that 40 percent of Texans approve of the job Perry’s doing as governor, a 10-point drop from a year ago.
Another 40 percent said they disapprove of the job Perry's doing.
The poll found 53 percent said they don't want Perry to run for a fourth full term in 2014, and 45 percent said his failed campaign for president hurt Texas' image.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
