Senator Jim Webb's first job approval ratings show more negatives than positives. Virginia's junior U.S. Senator has a Minus 5 approval rating. SurveyUSA polled 600 Virginia adults between January 12 and January 14, so the rating does not reflect reaction to Webb's appearance on national television last night. Virginia's new senator delivered the Democratic response to President Bush's State of the Union message.
Virginia Senior Senator John Warner's approval rating went from a Plus 23 in December to a Plus 33 in January. Warner, who has recently broken with the administration policy on Iraq, saw his net approval numbers go to their highest level since last March.

The hair, the speech, the facts (non facts) the frown
........ to name a few !
Is this before or after that hateful rebuttal speech he gave the other night?
I hope Allen unseats him next time around.
I think I have the worst political instincts in the Country because I always feel folks are going to see through the Dems and they don't. However, I would love to see if there is some "buyer's remorse" among the electorate. I think now that folks have had a chance to see these folks up close and personal, they are not happy they made the choices they did.
President Bush's job approval ratings, touted as being so low, surpass Webb's and Warner's.
Surpasses Warner's 62%? Only on FR, perhaps.
Webb, is no Jefferson.
I really have no idea what they base these polls on...this doesn't include Webb's speech Tuesday night...so, what has he done??
Nothing...I think there have only been a few votes in the Senate of consequence.
This is an example of how stupid polls are...I am glad his is a negative one...I don't like him, but I would love to know what they base it on.
Wait a second, do we believe polls now or not? I can never get this straight...
He Virginia you broke him you bought him. Too bad for the rest of us.
The Porn writer has bad poll numbers.
Virginia's new senator delivered the Democratic Socialist Party response to President Bush's State of the Union message.
There. I fixed it.
I misread....+33 to mean a 33 poll number. Sorry for my dumb post. (Now working on reading and comprehension skills. lol)
It happens to all of us from time to time :D
Sometimes reading the article instead of just the headline will give you the answer.
From Article: SurveyUSA polled 600 Virginia adults between January 12 and January 14, so the rating does not reflect reaction to Webb's appearance on national television last night.
While I'll laugh hard at this on the blogs, this is obviously a response to his threat to hit the President, not about anything he's done in the one week he was serving as senator before this poll was taken.
If is funny that his approval rating is already way lower than Allen's was AFTER he lost the election.
I suspect this is because of the negative publicity he got from threatening to hit the President and being all huffy about not being in a picture with him and not answering a mannerly question about his son.
That incident got a lot of play, mostly negative.
