Low Approval Ratings For Franken

My US Senator, Al Franken (D. MN) has a very low approval rating. Usually new gov't officials are welcomed by their citizens with a high rating.

Today a poll came out showing Al Franken has an approval rating, of just 43%. This while 45% of the Gopher state dissaproves.

What a way to start your term. Franken is much like Obama, so if you've seen his dropping ratings so far, it doesn't look good for Franken.
