(AP) Sen. Rick Santorum's approval rating has skidded to a four-year low, the latest sign of distress for the outspoken conservative and ally of President Bush, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The lead for Santorum's Democratic opponent, state Treasurer Bob Casey, has stretched to 18 percentage points since early May.

Casey leads Santorum by 52 percent to 34 percent _ the biggest margin since October, when the numbers were the same, according to the Quinnipiac University poll.

Only 38 percent of respondents said they approved of the way Santorum, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, is handling his job. Forty-five percent said they disapproved and 16 percent did not express an opinion.

It was the first time Santorum's approval rating dropped below 40 percent since Quinnipiac began measuring it in June 2002.

2. Let's hope it keeps falling.

It's high time for Santorum to go.

:D :thumbsup:

3. Still too high an approval rating for somebody like Rick Santorum,

but I'm pleased the numbers are falling.

Unless Bob Casey burns down an orphanage and laughs about it on national television before November, I think he is the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania.

5. He is such a buffoon. Getting more desperate; give it up, Rick.

Go make your untold millions by being a "true Christian conservative" like that paragon of morality, Ralph Reed. And leave the rest of us the hell alone.

[npincus]

6. it's the "we found the WMD" blowback

hardee-har har har.

[H2O Man]

8. That was a highlight ....

in his career.

I remember when I was a kid, and liked to pitch in neighborhood baseball games. Sometimes I'd throw a pitch that I'd wish I could take back. His WMD pitch was one the other team can knock out of the ball park.

11. This poll predates that debacle. . .

this poll finished on Monday, so the next round of numbers should be really amusing.

[skids]

12. No, too early...

The WMD stuff was on the same day this poll was released.

[autorank]

7. "Am I sure I want to recommend this?" Damn right!!! K&R

One nastey dude fades quickly away...and Casey has not even started to rip this guy a new one.

Yehaaaa!!!!!

[Old and In the Way]

17. Rick found the WMD......and their going to leave his re-election

campaign in a smoking crater. Next up: fake moon landings!

9. Just a few months back they were seriously mentioning

the Asshole for a POTUS run in 2008. The Chickens are coming home to Roost.

10. Casey Needs To Stay Off Of Small Planes

From now until election day.

13. agreed 100% eom

[durrrty libby]

21. I adore that pic. It gives me the vapors

Santorum tanking makes me joyous.

14. I got to meet and talk to Bob Casey on Thursday evening

in Pittsburgh. He is genuinely a nice man. What a contrast he is to that pompous ass, Santorum.

For the life of me, I can't understand how 38% of the respondents in PA could possibly approve of Lil' Ricky. What has he EVER done for the people of this state, beside embarrass us?

[Mz Pip]

15. 38%????

He should be at about 12%. He is useless and incompetent and can't seem to do anything right. A photo-op with the 'don't come into my restaurant unless you speak English" guy just came off as silly.

16. looks like his statue is going to come tumbling down

[tabasco]

18. 38% appprove of this maniac?

I guess that's the approximate % of brownshirts in PA.

[jwirr]

19. When you are stupid enough to repeat the WMD lies you should

actually drop out of the race and resign you seat. This latest is the dumbest thing I have seen.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

20. 'Babyface' Santorum better pack his bags...

and send out his resume to join the rest of the disgraced GOP (Ollie North, Newt Gingrich) as a FAUX News talking head.

[Gman]

22. So much for the WMD publicity stunt

[AuntiBush]

23. No!?! I'm Shocked I tell you.

LOL Not! Serves him right. Seems Pa folks have had enough, too.
