Why is Kim Reynolds the Least Popular Governor in the Nation?

April 11, 2025

DES MOINES — 49 out of 50 Governors in the US have a net positive approval rating. Iowa’s own Kim Reynolds is the only one who’s underwater, according to a new survey.

The Iowa Democratic Party put together a list of reasons as to why Kim Reynolds could be ranked dead last in the nation:

“Kim Reynolds has spent eight years driving Iowa and our economy into the ground and Iowans are clearly sick of her disastrous policies that prioritize millionaires and big corporations,”  said Iowa Democratic Party Spokesperson Paige Godden. “It’s time to replace Reynolds with a new Governor who will put Iowa families first.”
