How popular is your senator?
No, I'm not talking about the Senate Edition of "Hot or Not?" I'm referring to Survey USA's latest ranking of US Senators by approval ratings, released this week.
A couple interesting findings: in this poll, only five Senators have a net-negative aproval rating (3 Republicans, 2 Democrats). The only Southerner in the bottom five is Louisiana's Mary Landrieu, who is having trouble shaking off some of her post-Katrina mis-steps.
