We reported on this fairly extensively yesterday, but here’s some more on Senator Coleman’s stunningly low approval ratings in today’s Star Tribune:
Republican U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, already in a dogfight to hang on to his seat, is watching his ratings numbers slide, with the latest poll showing just a 43 percent job approval.
A new tracking poll from Survey USA shows that 48 percent of Minnesotans now disapprove of the job Coleman is doing, while 9 percent remain undecided.
That’s a slip from last month, when the same poll showed a 48 percent job approval rating for Minnesota’s senior senator.
Cullen Sheehan, Coleman’s campaign manager, dismissed the poll, saying that “with 16 months to the election, there will be numerous polls with numerous results. The senator’s priority is to get things done for Minnesota.”
Coleman recently has been subjected to a drumbeat of attacks for his continued support of the Iraq war in the face of mounting public disapproval. National Democrats and antiwar activists have started two separate TV ad campaigns criticizing Coleman for his opposition to troop pullouts.

Unable to find a regular citizen to defend Norm Colemans obstructionism in the senate, todays strib, published a ‘letter’ to the editor from a coleman staffer that lies about Normies record.
Norm has made the transition from Rubber Stamp Republican to Roadblock Republican now that Dems have a majority.
