Ask a silly question

The latest WBZ/SurveyUSA poll breaks the news that Governor Patrick’s approval ratings are not good. Overall approval-disapproval is 41% - 49%. Probably the most troubling news for the Administration is that independents (who make up a plurality of voters these days) are 35% - 59%, approve versus disapprove.

But I had to grin about the last question: “Is Governor Patrick doing enough to help the Massachusetts economy? Or could he be doing more?”

Guess what? Doing more wins in a landslide. But that’s a pretty stiff standard. Apply that test to your own life — Is my boss doing enough to help my bank account? Or could he be doing more? Am I doing enough to post interesting stuff on this blog? Or could I be doing more?

Questions suggests the answer, no?
