Those are approval numbers among Democrats, blacks and Republicans for Gov. Nikki Haley, according to a poll by Public Policy Polling earlier this month. What’s interesting is that Haley’s numbers are up more than 20 points among Democrats and blacks since February — 17 percent to 39 percent among Democrats and 24 to 44 among blacks — but down nine points to 67 percent among Republicans. The likely culprit: Removing the Confederate flag from Statehouse grounds. More.
