Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell is enjoying a 66% approval rating in the latest Roanoke College poll that was released on Thursday, up from 57% in December. After a landslide win in November 2009 and after more than a year in the top position, he has been highly praised for his leadership ability.

Often mentioned as a rising star on the national stage, McDonnell continues to lead as the 71st Governor with the same high energy, hands-on work ethic he has applied to his life.
