President George W. Bush; Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear; US Senators Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning. What do all four of these men have in common this month?

None of them has a positive approval rating in Kentucky.

It’s happened just once before, in November of 2007, when Ernie Fletcher was serving his final month as Kentucky’s governor — but in tracking dating back to May of 2005, this is only the second time where none of the four elected officials we track in Kentucky were in positive approval territory.

Remember, Net Job Approval is found by subtracting disapproval from approval. This month’s positions:

• President Bush:         Minus 34.
• Governor Beshear:   Minus 16.
• Sen. McConnell:        Even (46% approval, 46% disapproval).
• Sen. Bunning:            Minus 9.
