Who is More Polarizing? Chafee or DePetro

The battle over John DePetro's on air behavior rose to another level when the least popular Governor in America called for him to be fired? Then, late last week just about every elected official in Rhode Island joined Lincoln Chafee in calling for DePetro's removal and pledging not to appear on WPRO.

According to Brown University's Taubman Center's polling data, Lincoln Chafee scores just a 23% approval rating from Rhode Islanders. The decay of Chafee's approval rating is one of the biggest drops in RI political history. In 2004, 56% of Rhode Islanders approved of Chafee's performance in office - when he was a U.S. Senator.

Chafee has taken hits for his argument to save the life of a murderer from the death penalty, argued for illegal immigrants to receive drivers licenses, and refused to call a Christmas tree a  Christmas tree (until this year, when Chafee reversed himself).

Tuesday is D-Day for DePetro, he is scheduled to return to the airwaves from "vacation." Chafee has announced he will not run for re-election.

Who is the more polarizing? Governor Lincoln Chafee or talk show host John DePetro.
