SurveyUSA Approval Ratings in for Klobuchar, Coleman

SurveyUSA has published current approval numbers for U.S. Sens. Norm Coleman and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.  The survey, conducted between Jan. 12 and Jan. 14, indicated a 56/30 approve/disapprove split for newcomer Klobuchar, a Democrat, and 55/36 for Coleman, a Republican up for re-election in 2008.

Tim Pawlenty spent much of 2006 hovering at or just above 50 percent in S-USA’s monthly approval ratings, but dropped to 45 percent before the Nov. 7 elections.
