[TexasGreg]

MEANINGLESS

[Andyman]

Adults? Not even registered voters or likely voters? This poll is meaningless.

[saveliberty]

LOL! If Senator Ted has a 60% approval rating, it must be among barflies.

[skaterboy]

Johnson is higher than Thune in South Dakota

[saveliberty]

Bwahahaha! Just saw Kerry's approval rating. That must be at expensive clothing shops.

[anonymous_user]

1 ME Snowe, Olympia

That's a "go," pig. You're cleared for takeoff.

[Wasanother]

If they don't pass the a Patriot Act it will get worse for them.

[goresalooza]

SurveyUSA is another one of those meaningless "marketing" clearinghouses that manufacture BS for the rats. This particular "company" address is:

15 Bloomfield Ave
Verona, NJ 07044

If you google and hyperwhois this "company" you'll find it is linked to a used car dealership and a coin dealer. Since there is no name linked to the ownership of this "company" it's probably cloaked and connected to the DNC, hillpac and/or Soros/moveon.

The survey results are comical, at best. LOL.

[paudio]

I believe the author only compiled the numbers from local surveys, so there may be an issue of compability here, as the questions may be different from one state to another.

[conservativebabe]

I'm glad to see that turd Durbin below 50%. Maybe he will get the boot next time around, though probably wishful thinking on my part.

The fact that any Dem enjoys above a 50% rating is disturbing to me.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

The Laut is the only one with negative approval, and yet the overall approval rating for Congress is always low...

[Republicus2001]

BOXER/Hillary in 08!

[balch3]

I don't believe this poll. Almost all of the top 20 are RATS or RINOS.

[Liz]

Yeah, but the only person they polled was Terayza.

[Pusterfuss]

My dem senator (dayton) is tied for 99th, my Republican Seantor (Coleman - leading the charge against the UN) is tied with Lurch. I'll settle for 1/2 correct, 1/2 nuts.

[MadelineZapeezda]

What 18 yute even knows who their senator is? Meaningless, indeed!

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Two questions:

8 AZ McCain, John R Sr 67% 28% 39%

Congratulations to the people of Arizona for having such a popular Senator. In fact, I understand some people in California (Democrats that is) have begun to think of him as our third Senator. Can anybody tell me what he's done to deserve this popularity?

70 CA Feinstein, Dianne D Sr 52% 37% 15%

The 70th most popular Senator with a 52% approval rating and the Republican party can find NOBODY credible to run against her! What's wrong with my party?

[saveliberty]

LOL! After the booze soaked raisins!
