Approval Rating For ND Senators Drops

Survey USA has it's monthly review of approval numbers for the nation's Senators up.

North Dakota's Senator Byron Dorgan, at 64% approval, is down 8% from a peak in the same survey at 72% back on October 17th, 2005. His current level of approval is the lowest for him in the last nine months.

Dorgan's colleague, Senator Conrad, is still at 67% approval, but even that is down 6% from his own peak in the same survey at 73% back on October 17, 2005.

Probably nothing to get too excited about. Looking back at the history of this poll both Senators seem to go through approval cycles ranging from the mid-60's to the low 70's. This most recent down-turn probably has more to do with an overall frustration with Congress than any real change in ND opinion about the two Democrats.

What’s interesting is the fact that Dorgan fell more than Conrad.  Is that because he’s more associated with the Abramoff scandal? 

Certainly I don’t think this is cause for those guys to panic but it’s a good sign.

The numbers would probably continue to fall if there were some vocal opposition to the two in the state.  Unfortunately, the opposition seems rather lackluster...and the state’s journalists aren’t going to call them on anything.

I’m sure if there was a vocal opposition the papers would throw all of their weight on the side of the Senators of Darkness.

Are we predicting the future here?  I usually err and use ‘05 instead of ‘06, not the other way around.
