Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar both saw positive approval ratings from Minnesotans in a poll released by Rasmussen on Friday. Also in the poll results: 49 percent of respondents said Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s presidential aspirations have affected his performance as governor.

Franken got a 50-percent approval rating in the poll, with 46 percent disapproving. Klobuchar fared even better with 67 percent approving and 30 percent disapproving.

Half of those polled said they would not vote for Pawlenty if he ran for president, and 38 percent said they would. Twenty-nine percent said his potential run for president has had a positive impact on his job performance, while 49 percent said that it has had a negative impact.
