HOT! - SUSA does 50 States - 100 Senatorial Approval POlls

[Democratic Hawk]

10   IN   Bayh, Evan   67%   22%   45%
57   VA   Allen, George   53%   32%   21%
81   TN   Frist, Bill                   51%    39%   12%
96   OK   Coburn, Tom   43%   40%   3%
97   OK   Inhofe, James   44%   42%   2%
99   PA   Santorum, Rick   45%   44%   1%

Well, considering several conservative Indiana commentators were quick to write-off Bayh when he voted against Condi Rice, I'm quite pleased with his favourability rating, though its not in the 70s. When you compare him with other Democratic contenders expected to run in 2008, he's looking good

Meanwhile, on the GOP potential runners, Santorum's clearly is, and would be, a polarising candidate, while other expected runners Allen, to a greater extent, and Frist, to a lesser extent, fair better

Nice to see those pair of Oklahoma wing nuts coming in at positions 96 and 97

P.S. I'm aware they are state polls - but I think if your doing well in the your own state, in sets you in good stead for a national challenge

Frist's rating too is pretty horrible for anyone trying to set up a presidential candidacy. (Then again, John Kerry's rating is no better...)

Frist's aren't good - but I think he'd win again in Tennessee were he not to retire to focus on a presidential run, whereas Santourm seems in real trouble over in Pennsylvania. I want him Santorum to lose his Senate seat but I want him to win the GOP nomination (I think he'll scare moderates - but, on second thoughts, they said that about Reagan) - so its kind of a paradox in that a Senate defeat may well end his presidential aspirations

I'm hoping Kerry's poor rating in Massachussetts puts paid to a challenge in 2008 - that said, I'd welcome his entry into the race, if only, to split the liberal vote.

For me, it will be moderate Democrat in 2008 or nothing at all! We'll just have to wait and see
