Minnesotans Dont Think Franken Should Resign; Franken Remains Popular, Especially With Women
Source: Public Policy Polling
A new Public Policy Polling survey of Minnesota voters finds that a majority don’t think Al Franken should resign from the US Senate, and that he remains popular in the state, particularly with women. Key findings from the survey include:
-50% of voters think he should not resign, to only 42% who think he should go through with his planned resignation. There is little appetite from Democratic voters at the state level for Franken to go, with 71% opposing his departure. A majority of independents- 52%- as well think he should not resign, with just 41% favoring his exit.
-Franken remains well above average in popularity for a Senator, with 53% of voters approving of the job he’s doing to 42% who disapprove. PPP rarely finds Senators with majority approval in their home states. Franken’s continued popularity is being driven especially by women. 57% of them like the job he’s doing to 37% who don’t. By contrast Donald Trump stands at 40/58 with women in the state.
-Minnesotans don’t like how the process with Franken’s resignation has played out. 60% think the Senate Ethics Committee should have completed its investigation (including 79% of Democrats and 61% of independents) before any decision was made about Franken’s future, while only 35% think he should resign immediately. Beyond that 76% of Minnesota voters think their voices should have been more important in determining whether Franken stayed in the Senate or not, to only 12% who think that should have been determined more by his fellow Senators in Washington.

Why would Franken want to work with the current party members that threw him under the bus? Gosh...wonder if they've scratched their heads wondering WHY no others have come forward since his resignation announcement claiming he "groped" them too?? Why GASP.....could this just have been a Republican HIT JOB with YOU and other Dems doing the dirty work for them Gilly?? Good luck on your 2020 Presidential announcement.
Franken "groping" his last accuser..........
The accusers stopped coming since Franken resigned, and the ones that did come were weak sauce at best even with an overactive imagination. It does seem to have been a hit job.
I wonder if the Democrats who asked him to resign considered that by doing as the Republicans wanted, perhaps in order to say: "no tolerance for sexual misconduct of any kind--now your turn" they have made themselves sitting ducks. With such a low bar set for the type of accusations needed to force a resignation, thanks to the Franken precedent the Republicans can set-up any Democrat now.
she makes me feel uncomfortable. 
sigh
I dont know where to start.
Oh, and just so you know, NOBODY on this board came to Al's defense FASTER or more FREQUENT than me, go ahead and do a search.
NOBODY here supports him more than I do, many do as much I am sure, but nobody more.
But FRANKEN himself would say no matter what you do, VOTE for ANY Democrat in November.
And if I have to hold my nose to do it, so be it!
Actually i only said that to get your goat. 
(And where does that saying come from? I don't know)
My checkbook is ready for it.
