Minnesota elected a senator they really don’t like very much

United States Senator Al Franken. Don't blame us, Minnesota. You voted for him.

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.”

What were you thinking, Minnesota?

  • the voting was rigged, 43% approve of him, cmon! only 43 percent of minnesotans voted for this son of a bitch and hes a senator.

    • Have a look into the George Soros backed SOS (Sec.Of State) program, & you will find the truth about MN Sec.Of State Mark Ritchie. That will tell you how Al Franken got "elected" to the US Senate.

      BTW, did anybody else have uncounted votes in the trunk of their cars too? Just a thought...

  • Complete absurdity, a washed up, third rate comedian that never made now trys playing the Senate - God Bless Minnesota!

  • Well, I don't really blame the people of Minnesota, they got ACORN'd. Sadly all of us better learn how to avoid the same fate or 2010 will see lots of little acorns falling on House races.

    That said, somebody in MN nominated this clown - have they been let out of interrogation yet?

  • I'd like to apologize on behalf of Minnesota. One of the best things I can say is that I DIDN'T vote for this clown.
