TALENT IN THE BASEMENT

Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) faces a difficult reelection campaign this year, and his poll numbers aren't helping his cause.

Talent, the state's junior senator, is tied for 90th place in approval ratings for U.S. Senate, according to Survey USA, in polling done for KCTV and KSDK.

Talent's approval rating is 43 percent. His disapproval rating is 44 percent. By comparison, Missouri's other senator, Kit Bond, is relatively beloved in 77th place, with a 48-41 approval-disapproval split.

In last place is Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA), with 36 percent approval and 57 percent disapproval.
