More GOP Senators join the under 50 club

[Adlai Stevenson]

Survey USA approval ratings:

Pat Roberts (R-KS): 50-36

Gordon Smith (R-OR): 50-40

Mitch McConnell (R-KY): 49-43

John Cornyn (R-TX): 47-39

Norm Coleman (R-MN): 47-43

and honorable mention: John Warner (R-VA): 51-37

When an institution like John Warner barely squeaks above 50%, one can be reasonably sure that we are amid a fairly solid blue trend.

That's three, not six.

Funny, I read it as "more".

Warner is only doing slightly better than Webb. Interesting.

When looking at these things, I look at the overall disapproval rather than the overall approval. You'll notice that most of these people's disapproval rating rests in the low 40s and high 30s. Pretty good.

It's a shame to see Cornyn doing all right, though.
