Many states are pretty small and not very diverse politically. Easy to keep a majority of constituents happy.

That's not true at all in Pennsylvania. Josh Shapiro is extremely popular (great favorability ratings).

It's an interesting question OP because their impact feels diffuse yet they can generate enthusiasm and develop a narrative (like "gets things done" etc).
