APPROVAL RATINGS FOR ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS AS OF 05/23/06 SORT ► ALPHABETICAL BY STATE ALPHABETICAL BY SENATOR'S LAST NAME BY HIGHEST 'NET JOB APPROVAL' BY HIGHEST APPROVAL
Yay! At least in this survey Republicans are BLUE and DemocRATS are RED! That's the way it always was until 2000. Even in 2000 the major networks and cable news agencies were evenly split over which party had which color. But by 2004 it was universally RED=Rep, BLUE=Dim.
Note that Sen. Lieberman (D-CT) has 59% approval. Could he be in that much trouble?
No doubt there are some ultra-partisan Dems who agree with them.
Still, it's unclear to me how that's relevant to this thread. ;)
Maria Cantwell has even a worse number that dingbat Patty Murray. What an accomplishment!
Check again. (The color is by state, not by Senator.)
As an ex-CT Yankee, I can say that Lieberman is only in possible trouble in the Dem primary. He would be a candidate for a cross-endorsement (CT allows those), and a Dem win in the primary would give him a nice excuse to cross the aisle, where he would be a bit of a RINO, but still an upgrade over what CT typically offers these days.
Look at the listing
categorized by HIGHEST
rankings and you realize
WHO was being polled!
Come one...Susan Collins?!!!
When you list by "Highest Net Job Approval" or "Highest Approval" the Dims are Red and the Reps are Blue.
However, your questioning my sanity and colorblindness made me double check, and if you list the Senators alphabetically by last name, then the Dims are Blue and the Reps are Red.
So much for consistancy.
Ten of the least popular dozen are conservative Republicans. How many are up for election other than Santorum?
D'oh!
Ow! Santorum is toast @ 36%! That idiot Specter has a 50% RATting, proving that the people in PA are morons!
But by 2004 it was universally RED=Rep....

Bigg Red likes it that way. :-)
COMPLETE FICTION.
It appears that he should have continued that practice.
Joe Lieberman won't be in trouble in the general election. The Democratic primary is where the problem might lie.
If it were allowed, I'd re-register as a Democrat just to be able to vote in the Dem primary to make sure Lieberman keeps the Democratic nomination. Compared to the lunatics who would replace him, Lieberman is rational and sane.
If he makes it through the primary, he'll be re-elected. He's really a good Senator for Connecticut, and he's actually politically just about where the people of this state are. Connecticut is a liberal state, but it's a business liberal/practical common sense sort of place (as contrasted with New York, on one side, and Massachussetts on the other). Remember, we carried out an execution here last year. The death penalty in New England. Go figure. Connecticut's like that.
And its th conservative's that are likely disapproving. They are not going to vote for a lefty.
Pure BS. It looks like in North Carolina, they may have done their polling sample in Durham or Chapel Hill.
