New Mexicans Love Nation’s First Latina Governor

December 19, 2011 by B. Daniel Blatt

As she closes out her first year in office, Susana Martinez, the first female governor of the Land of Enchantment enjoys sky-high approval ratings, earning “a 65 percent job approval rating from the people of” her state, up from an initial rating just nine months ago.

This according to a Public Opinion Strategies poll which had Martinez leading Diane Denish 50% to 42% justt before the November 2010 election — within one point of the final result. Independents approve of this free-market loving woman by an over 2-to-1 margin (62/39).

She’s even above water among Democrats 49/44. Oh yea, Governor Martinez is a Republican.

UPDATE:   Forget to mention that the Democratic Whip in the state’s House of Representatives called this proud American woman “the Mexican.“

    I had no idea who the Governor was in New Mexico. I have been thinking of moving west and New Mexico might just be ideal.

    New Mexico has a Mexican woman as governor? Well, kiss my grits. No doubt she is a state socialism Democrat. What next: GayPatriots?

    New Mexico resident here. My family is very proud of Susana Martinez. She’s a great governor–despite having to deal with a Democratic legislature. Did you know she had a perfect score on her shooting when she renewed her concealed carry license?

    Heliotrope, insulting her only makes you look bad. She’s a conservative Republican.

    As a NM expat, I approve, she is a good Gov, almost as good as Gary Johnson, but if it is allowed, here is a parody that alludes to her

    Burning, good to remind us of Gary Johnson. A good governor was he. A shame he’s not getting more coverage — or traction — in presidential contest.

    Louise, Heliotrope didn’t insult her; he praised her back-handedly, by mocking left-wing stereotypes.

    thanks, I wish he was getting better press, and he might but the dream of him being the CinC is pretty low. I have met him many times over the years, but the most vivid one was when a group of teachers at my school(when I work in APS) were placing the projects of their 7th grade team in his office. I went with them and he comes in to the main office, looks around, and says “this is how to showcase NM” then sat down with the kids right then and there, with people waiting to talk to him and he was more interested in the students and their work. Not one member of the press around

    Anyway, I also knew Ms. Williams, she is a CTE Instructional Coordinator, and is the poster child of angry and self-entitled, her way or the highway to the subordinate and obsequious to a superior.
