another good reason for a politician to actually take a stand

via taegan goddard's political wire, we find the latest rassmussen poll shows sen. feingold's approval ratings jumped (are you sitting down?) 30 points:

advocating censure does offer a boost for feingold within the democratic party. initially, 22% of democrats had a favorable opinion of him while 16% had an unfavorable opinion. however, knowing he advocates censure, feingold's numbers within his own party jumped to 52% favorable and 14% unfavorable.
when reading the political wire, do not be put off by the headline "poll finds most oppose bush censure." scott shields at mydd explains how rassmussen (always leaning repubbb) frames the question in such a way as to totally discount the illegality of awol's wire-tapping, versus the american research group's similar poll which found the public's yes/no votes on censure about equal.
