SurveyUSA has a batch of new polls out showing politicians March approval ratings in the Show-Me-State.
- President Bush receives the lowest rating at 35%. 62% of Missourians disapprove of the job the President is doing. In the Ozarks, 40% give the President the nod.
- Governor Blunt sits at a 40% rating overall in March. 55% disapprove. Blunt does a bit better in the Ozarks, registering 43% approval.
- 50% approve of the job Sen. Kit Bond is doing. Bond splits independents 45% a piece. In the Ozarks, he is favored by a 48%-39% margin.
- Missouri's newest U.S. Senator, Claire McCaskill, gets the best statewide mark of all. 53% of Missourians say they approve of the job McCaskill is doing. She's winning independents 51%-37%. And not a bad mark in the Ozarks for a Dem . . . 44% approve in Southwest Missouri - that's better than both Blunt and Bush.

Re: Possible Election Tampering in Missouri USA
If it talks and walks like a Duck then!
On February 7, Richard Struckhoff Greene County election official accepted my Declaration of Candidacy as Write-in for Mayor of Springfield, Missouri for April 3rd, 2007 election. A few weeks later I received a letter saying he wouldn’t count the votes as the city law department says the City Charter does not allow write-ins.
Facts are the charter is silent on write-ins just as other city charters are. Information on www.reedforcouncil.com shows ballot samples or news articles relate at least, Kansas City, Branson, Marshall, Joplin, and St. Louis allow write-in candidates for Mayor or alderpeople. State law allows write-in candidates and apparently Springfield’s the only city in Missouri not allowing this democratic process. If it talks and walks like a Duck then it’s a duck - count the votes!
We have very low voter turn out without throwing up road blocks. I’ve requested the Department of Justice look into this matter and also filed federal paperwork asking a federal magistrate judge to order the Clerk and Secretary of State to count the votes. After working on community projects and registering over 14,000 voters, I won’t rest until I believe we have free, open and legal elections in Missouri! Some people would say ‘is this a life or death issue.’ My answer is yes because democracy and the suffrage right of citizens to be involved in elections and to vote for people they want representing them is the pillar our nation rests upon. The last time I checked this wasn’t a third world country where corruption rules elections.
