A new Rocky Mountain poll indicates Arizona voters are divided on the job being done by Republican Gov.Jan Brewer. Jim Haynes is with the Behavior Research Center in Phoenix. 

“Thirty-one percent rates the governor highly—that is doing an excellent or good job,” said Jim Haynes with the Behavior Research Center in Phoenix. “About the same, 29 percent rate her job performance as poor or very poor.”

Not surprisingly, Haynes said Brewer does better with older Republican voters and does not fare as well with Democrats, especially Latinos. He said Brewer's support among Republicans declined a bit after her battle with legislative leaders over health care reform.
