SurveyUSA Polls the Senators

SurveyUSA this week released data showing the approval ratings of all 100 Senators. Interesting information among the mix, as it pertains to campaign 2006:

Rick Santorum (R-PA) -- 42 approve/46 disapprove
Mike DeWine (R-OH) -- 42/43
Conrad Burns (R-MT) -- 48/42
Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) -- 46/38
Jim Talent (R-MO) -- 48/39
Maria Cantwell (D-WA) -- 47/37

Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) are both under 50% as well, but both have net approvals above 15 points. Nevertheless, neither is completely in the clear. Kyl faces a well-funded challenger in Jim Pederson, the moderate former state Democratic Party chair. Nelson most likely will face Rep. Katherine Harris as MSNBC Host/former Rep. Joe Scarborough recently bowed out of contention for the GOP nomination.
