Why are Inhofe and Allard unpopular?
Generally what strikes me is how few people have negative ratings; then again, I suppose that as a Senator you don't ever have to take personal responsibility for really unpopular policies, unlike a Governor who may have to increase taxes or cut services and gets personally blamed.
Allard has always been controversial. He is a very conservative Senator in a state that was never very conservative and moving pretty quickly to the other side.
The whole situation with Inhofe is odd. I thought he was popular.
