I saw this over the weekend and thought I’d share this morning… According to an Examiner.com analysis<\/a>, the 17 states that elected a Republican Governors in 2010 hes seen unemployment drop at an average of 1.35% — well ahead of the national average of .9%.<\/p>\n

Here is how much the unemployment has rate declined in each of the 17 states since those newly elected Republican governors took office in January 2011:<\/p>\n

Kansas – 6.9% to 6.1% = a decline of 0.8%<\/p>\n

Maine – 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%<\/p>\n

Michigan – 10.9% to 8.5% = a decline of 2.4%<\/p>\n

New Mexico – 7.7% to 6.7% = a decline of 1.0%<\/p>\n

Oklahoma – 6.2% to 4.8% = a decline of 1.4%<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania – 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%<\/p>\n

Tennessee – 9.5% to 7.9% = a decline of 1.6%<\/p>\n

Wisconsin – 7.7% to 6.8% = a decline of 0.9%<\/p>\n

Wyoming – 6.3% to 5.2% = a decline of 1.1%<\/p>\n

Alabama – 9.3% to 7.4% = a decline of 1.9%<\/p>\n

Georgia – 10.1% to 8.9% = a decline of 1.2%<\/p>\n

South Carolina – 10.6% to 9.1% = a decline of 1.5%<\/p>\n

South Dakota – 5.0% to 4.3% = a decline of 0.7%<\/p>\n

Florida – 10.9% to 8.6% = a decline of 2.3%<\/p>\n

Nevada – 13.8% to 11.6% = a decline of 2.2%<\/p>\n

Iowa – 6.1% to 5.1% = a decline of 1.0%<\/p>\n

Ohio – 9.0% to 7.3% = a decline of 1.7%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even if we remove Michigan, Florida, and Nevada which saw the largest deceases in unemployment from the equation,\u00a0the average drop in the unemployment rate is still 1.14%.<\/p>\n

Compare that to the eight states that elected new Democratic governors in 2010:<\/p>\n

Colorado – 8.8% to 8.1% = a decline of 0.7%<\/p>\n

New York – 8.2% to 8.6% = an increase<\/em> of 0.4%<\/p>\n

Oregon – 9.9% to 8.4% = a decline of 1.5%<\/p>\n

California – 12.1% to 10.8% = a decline of 1.3%<\/p>\n

Connecticut – 9.3% to 7.8% = a decline of 1.5%<\/p>\n

Hawaii – 6.7% to 6.3% = a decline of 0.4%<\/p>\n

Minnesota – 6.8% to 5.6% = a decline of 1.2%<\/p>\n

Vermont – 6.0% to 4.6% = a decline of 1.4%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like their Republican counterparts each of these Democrats took office in January 2011, the average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 0.95%, roughly the same as the drop seen nationally… And it’s worth noting\u00a0 one of these states, New York, has actually seen unemployment rise since January 2011.<\/p>\n

I suppose I could be like the President’s economic advisers and say don’t read to much into to this<\/a>, but I think it argues well for Conservative principles.<\/p>\n
