Mark Hebert reported that Senator Bunning’s job approval ratings further eroded in the last month. Senator Bunning’s Survey USA/WHAS-TV poll numbers for March were 39% approval and 48% disapproval. In February, his numbers were 41% approval and 44% disapproval.
More disturbing for the Senator was that his disapproval numbers were higher than his approval number for nearly every demographic category. For example, 53% of the sampled men disapproved of the Senator’s job performance while only 39% approved. Senator Bunning cannot win a general election with these numbers.
The three bright spots for the Senator were his numbers for Republican respondents (plus 7%), conservative respondents (plus 6 %), and Western Kentucky residents (plus 4%). With these numbers, he would be hard to beat in a Republican primary.
