SurveyUSA has released its latest approval ratings for all US Senators. Santorum's 43% approval in this July poll was an improvement over last month's 36%. It was good enough to move him from dead last among all US Senators to 96th place. I can hear the corks popping in Virginia from here.
His 7-point gain came entirely within the one-third of respondents who admitted to being Republicans. Last month, only 48% liked Their Rick, but he managed to pick up a majority of the minority in July, scoring a soaring 62% approval rating amongst his own people. The only groups giving him +50% approvals were Republicans and two subsets -- conservatives and the anti-choice contingent. All three make up a minority of Pennsylvania voters. He could take 70% of those groups and still lose the election going away.
