Survey USA just released their monthly approval ratings for all 100 Senators and show that Republican Senator George Allen's approval rating has dropped to 51%. That is a five point drop from January's numbers and 8 points from December's. His disapproval numbers also climbed 3 points to 33%. Conventional wisdom says any incumbent below 50% is in endanger of losing their re-election bid. Good news for James Webb and Harris Miller.
Also noted is that his support among Republicans has dropped 7 points in the past two months and 8 points among Independents.
Throw him an anvil!
Update: 5oclockshadow at the Webb for Senate blog points out "If you look at Allen's pro-choice numbers they took a nosedive in this poll. His pro-choice approval went from 47% to 39% and his disapproval went from 37% to 48%. Meanwhile his support from the anti-pregnancy rights group is basically maxxed out: 69% approve, 14% disapprove."
