Mayor Jerry Sanders’ job approval slipped 4 percent to 60 percent between May and July, according to a poll commissioned by the San Diego Institute for Policy Research. The group released its poll July 11.
Sixty percent of respondents contacted in late June and early July said they approved of the job Sanders was doing, versus 64 percent in May. Twenty-two percent in the recent survey said they disapproved, versus 17 percent in May.
The San Diego Institute for Policy Research describes itself as a nonpartisan think tank. Steve Francis, co-founder of AMN Healthcare, founded and chairs the organization. Pollsters from Competitive Edge Research & Communication contacted 508 randomly selected adult respondents within the city of San Diego by telephone, between June 29 and July 3.
