From TBND blog:
This has to make Senator Conrad's collar a bit tight. Survey USA has released a new survey out on the approval rating of all 49 governor's and the one governator.
John Hoeven is NOW tied for the most popular governor with a ranking of 75% approval.
TBND also reports on a new Roll Call report:
North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven’s (R) continued silence on whether he will challenge Sen. Kent Conrad (D) next year is leading many in the state to believe the popular chief executive will in fact run.
“I think the pressure on [Hoeven] is pretty intense, and that he’s going to be convinced that this is what he needs to do, both by the [Bush] administration and Republican folks in the state,” said Eric Aasmundstad, president of the North Dakota Farm Bureau. “I’d be kind of surprised if he didn’t run.”
Hoeven, with approval ratings near 70 percent, has declined to squelch the speculation. And with his popularity and incredible statewide name identification, he has the luxury of waiting until as late as the March 2006 Republican nominating convention to announce his candidacy.
