Polls: Senate redo? Pawlenty approval slipping?

Posted at 8:54 AM on March 6, 2009 by Tom Scheck

Two new polls show some interesting tidbits.

A new Rasmussen Poll says more of those polled think Democrat Al Franken won the U.S. Senate race. But the same poll shows that there is slightly more support for another election but it's split when you factor in the MOE.

Meanwhile...

Survey USA says Gov. Pawlenty's approval rating has slipped below fifty percent. SmartPolitics says Pawlenty polled at 53 percent in January.
