Grassley numbers continue to fall
http://www.senateguru.com/diary/1092/september-senate-approval-numbers-from-survey-usa


Chuck Grassley Jan. '09 Feb. '09 Mar. '09 Apr. '09 May '09 June '09 July '09 Aug. '09 Sep. '09
Approve 71 71 68 59 63 58 62 54 50
Disapprove 22 23 27 34 30 34 30 34 40

For the third time in four months now, Grassley sets a new mark for his worst Survey USA numbers ever as he finally hits the 50% approval mark square on the nose (with his disapproval hitting 40% for the first time ever in Survey USA history). Grassley is also below 50% approval among independents (48%) and self-described moderates (47%). Things are officially interesting as added significance is now brought to the eventual announcement of this highly-touted mystery Democrat who will give Grassley the "race of his life."
============================================================================================

If "mystery man" fails to materialize, I am sure Mr. Fiegen or Mr. Krause will be happy to be the giant killer.

Folks, if you could please write an LTTE to your local paper and to the major papers in your area plus the Des Moines Register: letters@dmreg.com
It is way past time for Grassley to retire. Let us help him.

( not sure how to line up numbers better)

2. Wow ... never thought I'd see that (and am so glad I am)
He was our rep when I was growing up in the Iowa 3rd. He's been in D.C. now since '75 and in elected office (including the Iowa House) for 50 years. There was a time when he was one of the reasonable Republicans, at least willing to stand up to Pentagon spending during the Reagan years. Now he is just an embarrassment and will be remembered as being on the wrong side of history.
