Support for Sen Klobuchar remains strong
This is good news. If Amy keeps being Amy it should mean a easy re-election. The only matchup I have heard has been against Michele Bachmann. :crazy:


http://www.startribune.com/local/43699767.html



Respondents of the latest Star Tribune Minnesota Poll who approve of the job the freshman senator is doing outnumber those who disapprove by almost a 3-1 ratio.

That amounts to a comfortable approval rating of 59 percent of those polled, compared to 20 percent who don't approve. Another 22 percent said they don't know or refused to say what they think of the job she's doing.
....
Klobuchar's approval rating is essentially unchanged since late 2007, the last time it was measured by the Minnesota Poll. The 61 percent approval she registered in that poll was the highest of any Minnesota senator this decade.

Not surprisingly, Democrats give Klobuchar far higher marks than Republicans do. But she also gets the endorsement of 57 percent of self-described independents, who outnumber Minnesotans who identify themselves with the major parties.

2. I see her as a good DFL moderate and secure for re-election
as long as she keeps reaching out to the center.

3. I also find her disappointing

Of course, Wellstone set the bar pretty high. I wish all the conservative DFLers would stop invoking his name if they aren't actually going to try and live up to his legacy it's really dishonest.

4. Not surprising when it is a poll by Star Tribune
She is more like a Blue Dog.

I wonder what a poll would say if taken by MPR or KFAI ?

or even the DFL party.

She has been even more of a disappointment than I thought she would be.

5. She's been a sellout more often than not.
She's better than a Republican, but not a whole lot.
