SurveyUSA - 100 US Senator Approval Ratings 08/06

[Smash255]

while I think Santorum has improved himslf, the one in 20 rule applies.  I believe they do the Senate, Pres, Gov polls together, ask the same people in the same time period, just release on different dates.  They had Bush @ 40% in PA, which is WELL above what he has had there in a long time,.  So if the poll is indeed the same group of people that explains the higher ratings.

With a 55% approval rating, Maria Cantwell looks to be in pretty good shape for re-election...if, that is, she makes it through the primary without too much damage.

Maybe...though it says she is more popular in Eastern Washington than in Metro Seattle, so maybe this poll isn't very good...

Keep in mind the subsets tend to have higher MOE's than the poll as a whole due to the small smaple sizes, generally does even out.
