THE FIX CALLS COLEMAN’S POLL NUMBERS “POSITIVELY HEALTHY COMPARED TO HIS POTENTIAL RIVALSâ€
By Michael B. Brodkorb | October 19, 2007
"A recent independent poll showed, however, that Minnesota voters aren't sold yet. Just 27 percent had a favorable opinion of Franken while 34 percent had an unfavorable opinion. Mike Ciresi, who placed second to Mark Dayton in the 2000 Democratic Senate primary and is back for another race, didn't score much better with a 20 fav/15 unfav score. While incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman's numbers (52/35) weren't stratospheric, they were positively healthy compared to his potential rivals. Remember, Coleman only has to be better than the guy he is running against."

Ah, for one day, you have promoted the Washington Post!
Every day before and after this, you and all the trained dogs here will be ranting about even the things on its news pages will be biased spin, and not to be trusted. If it runs a poll, its methodology will be flawed, and your own opinion truth. The Post will be the liberal-commie-pinko-America hating media every other day.
But today, today it agrees with, and even its blogs are gospel truth! What a fascinating little world here.

Anyone’s numbers are considered healthy compared to Franken’s.
However, there is still a solid percentage of undecideds, but it is probably safe to assume those would pan out so that he still had a net negative approval rating.
Ciresi’s ratings show that 65% of Minnesotans dont know who he is. Saying that Coleman’s approval ratings are healthy compared to that isnt really helping his case since Coleman’s ratings are nearly set in stone, Ciresi leave a lot of room to grow and Franken’s do somewhat as well.
