Lincoln's Approval Ratings Falling

[ccharles000]

Sen. Blanche Lincoln's (D-Ark.) approval ratings have dropped by more than 10 points since October, according to a new poll conducted for the Arkansas-based Talk Business which was in the field Jan. 13 to 15.

While a Talk Business poll found Lincoln's job approval rating evenly split at 45 just three months ago, the latest survey showed 38 percent of voters approve of the job the Senator is doing and 56 percent disapprove. Just 24 percent of Independent voters polled this week approve of the job Lincoln is doing while 69 percent dissapprove.

Those declining numbers will only encourage Senate Republicans who view Lincoln's seat as one of their top two take-over possibilities this November. Nine Republicans are vying for the opportunity to challenge Lincoln in the general election but the National Republican Senatorial Committee has been targeting the moderate Lincoln since the beginning of the cycle.

Lincoln's latest approval numbers come even as Democratic Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe saw his job approval rating rise three points to 82 percent from October to January.

There's gotta be somebody willing to step up and be the next Dale Bumpers.

2. Lincoln should monitor Fox Noise

When they start to mention her while showing a picture of her with "R-Arkansas" next to her name, she'll know she's finished.
