I understand perfectly (once upon a time I was a business librarian..), Early in the recession they were way down, just haven't heard a figure lately, but haven't gone looking for the stat until now.

FROM NRO:

Sen. Russ Feingold’s hometown newspaper, The Janesville Gazette has endorsed the Democratic incumbent’s opponent Ron Johnson (R) for Senate:

Russ Feingold champions himself as a maverick who votes his conscience.

When his party most needs him, however, he’s there. In recent months, he voted for two major spending packages—the stimulus bill and health care reform.

When General Motors was rolling out of Janesville, Feingold lacked visibility. He issued statements from Washington or sent staffers on assignments. If having a Janesville native in the U.S. Senate is to our advantage, it wasn’t apparent when his hometown needed him most.
