Policies & New Poll Show Out-of-Touch Administration

Education, taxes and poor leadership show how much Gov. Sam Brownback is out of touch with Kansans' priorities.  A new poll highlights the disconnect, Kansas Democratic Chair Joan Wagnon said Tuesday.

Only 36 percent of registered voters approve of the job Brownback is doing, a SurveyUSA poll reported. Sponsored by KWCH-TV in Wichita, the poll was conducted Jan. 19-24, 2012. Brownback's approval rating has dropped 19 points in a single year, tumbling from a 55 percent approval rating SurveyUSA reported in a Jan. 24, 2011, poll.

"Kansas Democrats believe in education, opportunity and responsibility," Wagnon said. "These are values and priorities that all Kansans share. But this administration's solutions for education are to slice funding to historically low levels and shift the burden of paying for schools to the backs of local property taxpayers.
