Scott’s Approval Dips to New Low | Montpelier News

Governor Phil Scott’s approval rating has hit a new low at 48%, down from 53% just last month, as he heads into his sixth election cycle — a stark contrast to his usual national popularity. While he still leads his Democratic challengers, margins have tightened significantly, signaling a tougher race ahead — especially in a midterm year favoring Democrats. The decline is tied to his education reform efforts, and support within his own party has waned, with only 60% of Republicans now approving. Meanwhile, Molly Gray leads in the Lt. Governor race, and while Republican Gerald Molloy leads in his primary, he trails incumbent Becca Balint in head-to-head matchups. With many voters still undecided in the Democratic governor’s race, analysts say Scott’s numbers could rebound — but for now, the political winds are turning against him.
