Hail's approval rating falls sharply

Hail's approval rating has fallen sharply, according to a poll of East Tennessee residents released Monday. Just one percent said they approved of the job the solid form of precipitation was doing, down from 13 percent in the same poll taken last April, versus 92 percent who said they disapprove. Hail's approval rating was dragged down by the people who just planted seedlings group, with whom its approval fell 35 percent; those who had their car hoods dented, with whom its approval fell 45 percent; and people who got caught walking the dog without an umbrella, with whom it fell 14 percent. The drop in favorability among people who had their car hoods dented is surprising, as most polls indicate that it is tornadoes that are facing a what-the-hell-happened-to-my-car gap. The numbers indicate that neither atmospheric element has emerged unscathed from the past month's fight over the troposphere.
