Sherber Rises In The Polls
Embattled senator improving in poll numbers
BROOKINGS, BIERELAND--Scandal-ridden senator Driscoll Sherber (C-BIE) is seeing a rise in his approval ratings, a new poll shows.
Sherber's popularity plummetted after revelations he had an affair with a senate aide were publicized back in June 2009. Since admitting and apologizing for the affair, the staunch Conservative partisan has struggled to regain the trust of his Conservative base. Even fellow Conservative colleagues in the Senate and Assembly have been reluctant to endorse his 2010 bid for re-election, or even to associate with him in general.
But now Sherber's approval rating seems to have risen from rock-bottom. His lowest approval rating on record was back in August 2009, when only 28% of Biereland voters said they approved of his job performance. That number has steadily risen over the past few months, however. And according to a new poll put out by Insiders, Sherber's approval rating for January now stands at 38%, a full 10 points above his low.
Still, that number is dangerously low for Sherber, who is seeking a second (and first full) term in the Senate this December. Furthermore, the troubled incumbent will face a rematch with wealthy heiress Julie Grendhau, NAT, who previously ran against him in 2009 as a Democratic-Reformist. This time, however, the NAT has convinced Grendhau to run as a Nationalist, and has pledged to invest heavy resources into the race.
"This is a race we are going to fight very hard to win," said Chris Drabry, spokesman for the Nationalist Senate Campaign Committee (NSCC). "Biereland voters are tired of reckless and irresponsible Conservatives like Driscoll Sherber messing things up in Mavocke."
Sherber's campaign responded by highlighting the senator's opposition to big-spending in Mavocke.
"If anyone's representing Bierelanders, it's Driscoll Sherber," spokeswoman Martha Kay Hatwer told GNN News. "It's liberals like Julie Grendhau that want to spend our nation into debt and force a radical environmentalist agenda down our throats."
The Grendhau campaign had no comment.
