“This survey is bad news for the new governor,” said Stephen Farnsworth, a professor of political science and international affairs and director of the Center for Leadership and Media Studies at the University of Mary Washington. “And I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that the way that he’s been governing is very much answering to the concerns of more conservative Virginians, rather than trying to reach an accommodation with Democrats on many of the issues that are out there.”
