Stevens’ Popularity Sinks To New Low

I’ll bet he hopes the grand jury has a better opinion of him.

A new poll shows that only 44% of Anchorage voters have a positive attitude about Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK).

That’s quite a dip for Stevens, according to pollster Ivan Moore, who said that between September 2005 and April 2007 the senator’s popularity rating ranged between 58 percent and 63 percent.

Stevens isn’t too concerned:

“Moore is an opinion-making pollster, not an opinion-taking pollster,” Stevens told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
