Via Senate 2008 Guru we have new poll numbers for Senators up for reeelection in 2008. And the numbers prove that the Democrats are not hurting themselves by opposing the President…while Republican fortunes continue to plummet.
New approval ratings – (11/22/06 approvals in parenthesis):
On the Republican side:
Norm Coleman: 53-41 (48-43)
John Cornyn: 43-40 (45-42)
Pete Domenici: 54-38 (68-25)
Mitch McConnell: 53-40 (54-39)
Pat Roberts: 48-39 (51-36)
Jeff Sessions: 54-36 (58-32)
Gordon Smith: 51-41 (54-37)
John Warner: 55-33 (60-28)
On the Democratic side:
Tom Harkin: 57-38 (53-40)
John Kerry: 54-41 (48-50)
Only Norm Coleman seems to be treading water. The rest of the Republicans are listing badly, and Kerry and Harkin seem to be doing fine.
Pete Domenici and John Cornyn are in real trouble.
