Al Franken Would Crush Michele Bachmann 55%-38% In Senate Race
Things would go very badly for Rep. Michele Bachmann if she dared to challenge Al Franken for his Senate seat. The latest PPP poll found that Franken would defeat Bachmann 55%-38%.
Al Franken is turning out to be a very popular senator. Sen. Franken has an overall approval rating of 51%. Franken’s approval is 87% with those who are very liberal, 83% with somewhat liberals, 66% with moderates, 15% with somewhat conservatives, and 5% with very conservatives. Franken’s approval rating with Minnesota’s Obama voters is 88%. Sen. Franken leads every single one of his potential Republican challengers by at least 15 points. His biggest lead (18 points) comes against Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Bachmann’s unpopularity statewide nearly equals Franken’s popularity. Bachmann’s statewide unfavorable rating is a huge 60%. Only 34% of the those polled expressed a favorable opinion of her. Bachmann had a 90% disapproval rating with Obama voters, and only a 65% favorable rating with Romney voters. Bachmann has a 15% approval rating with very liberals, a 10% approval rating with somewhat liberals, a 15% approval rating with moderates, a 63% approval rating with somewhat conservatives, and a 76% approval rating with very conservative respondents.
If Bachmann did decide to challenge Franken, it would be a total rout for the Democrat. With the FBI joining the investigation into her 2012 presidential campaign, Bachmann may not be much longer for the House. However, it is unlikely that she would challenge Sen. Franken. On the other hand, this is Michele Bachmann and her wildly delusional ambitions that we are discussing so anything is possible.
There is a perception among some nationally that Bachmann is popular both in her district, and in the state of Minnesota. Except for the Republican wave year of Bachmann has won each of her House races by single digits. Her narrow defeat of Jim Graves last year was the biggest omen yet that she is on the decline.
The odds are that Bachmann will remain in her House seat until the voters remove her, or she is led out of the building in handcuffs. Either way, she would be fool to challenge Al Franken who looks like a lock to win reelection.

Al Franken is a joke and I honestly can’t believe anyone would vote for him. This entire nation should be ashamed that such a man is in the United States Senate.
We have thousands of good people in Minnesota that would be a great Senator and promote individual freedom and economic liberty.
We need to eliminate campaign finance laws and enact term limits so we can get good, average citizens that are able to step up and run for these offices.
Many people say we have too much money in politics but I say we don’t have enough and it isn’t able to go to an average person to run because of all the incumbent protectionism that has been put in place.
These politicians go to Congress and spend trillions of our dollars and make decisions that can ruin dreams, ruin retirements, destroy lives, destroy businesses, and harm many of us. There is no other set of events in our nation that is worth more than our elections.
When you find a good candidate, donate and volunteer…

What does your speel have to do with Franken? He is a far better rep then Bachmann who just represent her gawd and not her people.
As for the rest of your rant, I somewhat agree. However I want public financing of elections and no corporate money period.
