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.

His stock among voters, like the GOP in general, is sinking because he, Stevens, has defended the indefensible. Times have changed and change will be served. The old will go out, as Senator Stevens, and the young will replace old ways and hide bound conservatism. Goodbye, Senator Stevens, it's time!

When is he up for re-election? What's Bush's numbers in Alaska?
Why do 44% still approve?
BTW, I was born in CT. and grew up there. Sorry bout Liberman.
Code word: SCREW, just what Teddy did to the tax payers of America, he SCREWed them.
Enjoy the over done wieners in the joint teddy OLD boy.
