There must be something in water in the Land of Sky Blue Waters. Something that leads them to elect lunatics like Jesse Ventura and now Al Franken.
Turns out Minnesotans don’t particularly care for the guy they just elected as their senator. The honeymoon, if there was one, was mercifully short.
United States Senator Al Franken (we still have trouble typing those words) has one of the lowest approval ratings ever among newly elected senators. A mere 43% of Minnesota adults approve of his job performance.
Franken’s not just disliked, he’s disliked across the board. Pick a group in Minnesota and they probably dislike their new senator. He can’t muster a majority among any age demographic. Homeowners dislike him. Students dislike him. Homemakers dislike him.
As HotAir.com points out, “The lesson here is that Franken is an extraordinarily weak incumbent even before he’s cast enough votes to alienate his constituents. If the GOP can make 2014 a two-candidate race, Franken should be easy to beat.”
