All of the governors who cracked the top ten are Republicans including Mark Gordon of Wyoming, Larry Hogan of Maryland, Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, Phil Scott of Vermont, Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Doug Burgum of North Dakota, DeSantis, Greg Abbot of Texas, Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas and Kay Ivey of Alabama.
The most unpopular governors included Gov. David Ige, D-Hi.; former Gov. Matt Bevin, R-Ky., who was tossed out of office in November; Gov. Gina Raimondo, D-RI; Gov. Ned Lamont, D-Ct.; Gov. Kate Brown, D-Oreg.; Gov. Kristi Noem, R-SD; Gov. Janet Mills, D-Maine; Gov. Jim Justice, R-WV; Gov. Mike Dunleavy, R-Alaska; and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-NY.
