Norm addresses convention as approval ratings slip
Last night, Sen. Norm Coleman addressed the Republican National Convention, welcoming the delegates to St. Paul.
Update:He'll also be addressing the convention tonight shortly before 6:30.
He's also been using the RNC as an opportunity to do some serious fundraising, as the Washington Post reports.
But at the same time, a new Survey USA poll shows that Coleman's approval ratings are slipping. The survey shows that 44 percent of Minnesotans approve of Coleman, while 51 percent disapprove. This is the highest the disapproval number has been since Survey USA first started tracking Coleman's approval ratings in May 2005.
