Domenici's Approval Ratings Still Down From Last Year

It appears that Sen. Pete Domenici's entanglement in the U.S. Attorney firing scandal, as well as his continuing votes in support of Bush's Iraq occupation and other policies, are keeping his approval numbers well below those he received last year. According to the latest Survey USA poll, which collected its data from 08/10/2007 to 08/12/2007, only 52% approve of how Sen. Pete Domenici is doing his job while 41% disapprove. Those disapproving of Domenici have jumped from 25% last November to 41% now. By way of comparison, those polled approve of the job being done by Sen. Jeff Binaman by a margin of 61% to 31%.

Among Independents, only 38% approve. Among members of the military 48% approve and 46 disapprove, while 54% of non-mililtary respondents approve and 38% disapprove. I guess if you serve in the military, you're well aware of how damaging the Bush-Domenici war strategies have been.

Here's a comparison of recent Survey USA poll results on Domenici listed by release date, as provided by the blog Senate 2008 Guru:
