With Disapproval Rating At All-Time High, Special Interest Senator Joins Bush For RNC Welcome
SAINT PAUL [09/02/08] – As a new Survey USA poll shows that Norm Coleman’s approval rating continues to plummet, the Al Franken for Senate campaign tonight released the following statement:
Communications Director Andy Barr:
“Tonight, Norm is welcoming George W. Bush’s Republican Party to Saint Paul. But George W. Bush has had a disastrous impact on America’s reputation, Minnesota’s economy, and, increasingly, Norm Coleman’s approval rating. Minnesotans have had enough of George W. Bush’s failed leadership. And the more they learn about Norm Coleman’s record of abetting that failure, the more they decide they’ve had enough of Norm.”
KSTP: Coleman’s “Approval Ratings Are Holding Near The Lowest They’ve Been Since Taking Office.” Tonight, KSTP News reported, “Some bad news for Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman. The senior Senator’s approval ratings are holding near the lowest they’ve been since taking office. The new SurveyUSA poll shows that Coleman’s approval rating is at 44%, that’s down from 55% in January. By contrast, 59% of voters say they approve of the job Senator Amy Klobuchar is doing.” [KSTP, 9/2/08]
Coleman’s Disapproval Rating At An All-Time High. According to tonight’s SurveyUSA poll, 51% of Minnesotans disapprove of the job Norm Coleman is doing in the Senate. This is the highest Coleman’s disapproval rating has been since he took office in 2003. [SurveyUSA, Coleman Historical Approval Ratings]
