Kerry improves his approval ratings in MA

[Mass]

Well, all this public presence has at least born fruits in MA. The approval rating of our senior senator is now very close from Kennedy's one at 57 %.

He climbs from 75 to 63 in net approval and 68 to 49 in highest approval.

No surprise that some people are so intent attacking him

1. Wow!

That's fantastic news. I thought his numbers had seemed unfairly low. I'm glad to see he's getting some of the recognition he deserves :)

10. Now that is what a president's ratings should look like.

11. In addition to all the appearances, the change came

after his Georgetown speech. So, maybe being more outspoken on the war helped. Note the last point is after the Republican attempt to claim he's attacking the soldiers - doesn't look like MA is buying it.

12. I think it was that and the general bad feeling after Katrina.

All government officials got negatives on that. Even the ones who really tried to actually help. I am very happy to see these positives back up to where they should be. That just feels more like it should.

Hey, I'm a Mass person. Those naysaying friggin bastids who are spreading false info about my Jr Senator can bite me.
