From yesterday's Matier & Ross column in the Chronicle
Muscle sag: After more than a year of stratospheric popularity, the Governator appears to be falling back to the land of mere mortals.
Two recent polls -- one commissioned by Democratic legislators and one by the labor unions -- show a double-digit drop in Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's popularity in the past month.
And while you may find the source of the polls suspect, even Arnold's advisers privately admit that tackling teachers, nurses and firefighters as "special interests" has taken its toll on the movie-star-turned-governor.
(In the same column is a story about a pamphlet on how to ingest crack safely, produced by the San Francisco Needle Exchange Program. Seems that the authors left out anything about, oh, how to quit using the drug. Oops. Maybe they were smoking... nevermind.)
