December Senate Approval Numbers from Survey USA

SUSA is up with their December numbers.

Republicans:

Norm Coleman	12/27/07	11/20/07	10/18/07	9/25/07	8/21/07	7/24/07	11/22/06
Approve	53	53	49	46	47	43	48
Disapprove	39	40	42	45	44	48	43

Coleman continues to hover around the vulnerable zone.

Mitch McConnell	12/27/07	11/20/07	10/18/07	9/25/07	8/21/07	7/24/07	11/22/06
Approve	51	44	49	51	50	48	54
Disapprove	42	47	45	40	43	44	39

Like Coleman, McConnell floats in the circa-50% vulnerable zone.

Pat Roberts	12/27/07	11/20/07	10/18/07	9/25/07	8/21/07	7/24/07	11/22/06
Approve	56	51	55	57	54	52	51
Disapprove	32	38	36	32	33	34	36

Roberts continues to tease us, dancing between low-50s vulnerability and mid-to-high-50s security.

Jeff Sessions	12/27/07	11/20/07	10/18/07	9/25/07	8/21/07	7/24/07	11/22/06
Approve	56	60	54	56	59	58	58
Disapprove	34	30	37	34	33	33	32

Sessions keeps on keepin' on.

Gordon Smith	12/27/07	11/20/07	10/18/07	9/25/07	8/21/07	7/24/07	11/22/06
Approve	50	52	49	48	46	48	54
Disapprove	38	38	42	42	44	43	37

Like Coleman and McConnell, Smith's weak approvals continue to invite the big target sign.

Democrats:

Tom Harkin	12/27/07	11/20/07	10/18/07	9/25/07	8/21/07	7/24/07	11/22/06
Approve	54	58	53	53	57	55	53
Disapprove	38	37	42	40	35	38	40

I'll stick with my November comment: "Harkin is looking just comfortable enough for me to say something snarky like, 'I hope Tom Latham does challenge Harkin, just to open up Latham's House seat!'"

John Kerry	12/27/07	11/20/07	10/18/07	9/25/07	8/21/07	7/24/07	11/22/06
Approve	52	51	54	52	47	52	48
Disapprove	43	43	41	42	45	42	50

Again, ditto November: "C'mon, NRSC! Kerry is soooo vulnerable. Go for it!"
