More than 85,000 registered voters across America evaluated the job performance of their governors from from January 2017 through March 2017 to determine the latest rankings.

Here's more on the methodology from Morning Consult: 

On each poll, Americans indicated whether they approved or disapproved of the job performance of President Donald Trump, their state Governor, both of their U.S. Senators, their Member of Congress and their mayor (if they lived in a city with more than about 10,000 residents). For each question, they could answer strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove, strongly disapprove, or don’t know / no opinion.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was ranked the most unpopular governor, while Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker ranked as the most popular. 

Gov. Snyder had a 54 percent disapproval rating, and a 40 percent approval rating.
