...for Barbara Boxer:

A Field Poll released today shows that Senator Barbara Boxer’s approval rating has fallen to a nine year low of 41%. That nadir is driven by a 13% drop in approval by Democrats over the past year, accompanied by a 5% drop among non-partisan respondents.

As of this writing (10pm Tuesday), only the Sacramento Bee has picked up this story — and that’s buried in a piece on the poll’s major finding, which is that Dianne Feinstein could campaign from DC and still win in November.

We think it deserves more attention than that. The Senator who hangs her hat on the fact that she was reelected sixteen months ago with the highest vote total of any Senator ever (not hard for a Senator from the largest state) has pushed a substantial number of her supporters away from her. They may not ever vote for a Republican Senate candidate, but they could be primed for a more moderate challenger.

But, the MSM will only talk about low approval ratings when they're Bush's.
