...The chart below (click here) includes the three most recent job approval polls for
each incumbent eligible for re-election in 2014. (The four states where
term limits prevent the governor from running again — Arizona, Maryland,
Nebraska and Arkansas — and Massachusetts, where Gov. Deval Patrick has
announced he will not seek another term, are not included.) Surveys
conducted before 2012 are not figured into the averages....
