Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Hated Throughout California, But Loathed in Los Angeles

Categories: Politics

You probably didn't need a Field Poll to know that voters are not happy about Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child. But it never hurts to have the data, and they confirm that indeed the story has destroyed whatever remained of his public standing.

Just 20% of California voters approve of Schwarzenegger, while 75% disapprove. The loathing is especially strong in Los Angeles, where just 10% support Schwarzenegger and a whopping 84% do not.

Guess we're not France after all.

The explanation seems to be that L.A. County has a lot of Latinos and a lot of Democrats -- and both of those groups are more likely to despise the ex-governor than the rest of the population.

Just 15% of Latinos now hold a favorable view of Schwarzenegger -- which just proves again that mistreating the help is not a great way to win Latino support -- while 14% of Democrats support him.

Women are more hostile to Schwarzenegger than men -- no surprise there -- and older folks are more hostile than younger. Conservatives also hate Schwarzenegger, though not as much as liberals.

At this point, the prototypical Schwarzenegger supporter is a young, white, single guy who lives in San Francisco, has no fixed political views and dreams of someday having a lovechild of his own. Brah!

Schwarzenegger was never a popular governor, this just confirms what many if not most people though all along, he is an ego maniac, always looking for new ways to flaunt his craving for attention.  There were clues all along with rumors of his "groping" and other disrespectful behavior toward women.  It took this kind of dose of reality for people to finally understand what a phony cad this man is and what an empty suit he was as governor. He obviously thought he was above even the simplest of common decency and respect for the dignity of others, even his own wife and family.  Now he knows differently.
