Georgia Miscellany - Public Policy Polling

Georgia Miscellany - Public Policy Polling: -We asked Georgians their opinions about a number of current and historical figures in the state. Martin Luther King Jr. has a 73/15 favorability rating- it's 83/6 with Democrats but just 59/28 with Republicans. Paula Deen remains quite popular in her home state at a 54/21 spread- she's very popular with Republicans at 73/11 but seen positively by a plurality of Democrats at 40/33 as well. Zell Miller has a 47/21 favorability- he's now much more popular with Republicans at 64/7 than he is with Democrats at 34/32. He may have ravaged the state 150 years ago but 56% of Georgians have no opinion about William Tecumseh Sherman- 16% see him favorably and 28% unfavorably. And Georgians aren't too proud of one of their newest home state celebrities- just 8% have a favorable view of Honey Boo Boo to 63% with a negative one.
