SUSA's new 50 State Senate Approval Ratings

[Joe Biden 2020]

Wow, Jim Inhofe has dropped into negative territory.  I hope the Oklahoma Democrats are looking at this and licking their lips in anticipation of a 2008 Senatoria upset of Jim Inhofe.  We have a good chance of putting a Democrat in the Senate in 2008.  Tom Coburn won so handily because he was replacing the very popular Don Nickles.  Jim Inhofe has been in there for 14 years as of 2008 so we Okie's may be getting tired of him.

Being a resident of Oklahoma, Carson was a very good candidate, but he had so many things working against him.  Coburn ran a much more effective, albeit nasty, campaign and Don Nickles was extremely popular in Oklahoma at the time of his departure that the voters wanted to keep the "Nickles legacy" alive.  I think the only reason Dan Boren, as much as I like him, is doing so well is he's running off of his father's name, David Boren who was a former Senator and former Governor and the current President of OU.  If he ever gets his own identity, I think he would be an excellent Senator, though.  Jim Inhofe is dropping quite a bit in the polls because he tends to spout off too much.  He appears to be an extremist at times and despite popular opinion, Oklahoman's will get tired of extremists on both ends after a while. 

I'd personally like to see the new Democrat Nancy Riley run again.  If you remember, she ran as a Republican for Lt Governor in 2006, then switched to the Democrats after accusing the GOP of abandoning her.
