Recently Sen. Ben Nelson*, Democrat of Nebraska, went to a local pizzeria; the reception from the other patrons made clear they weren’t happy with him and he was booed on the way out.

Apparently this sentiment goes well beyond one pizzeria:

Nelson, who once enjoyed some of the highest job performance marks in the U.S. Senate, has now seen his approval rating dip below 50 percent in Nebraska, according to The World-Herald Poll…
In the survey, Nelson’s job approval rating was 42 percent and his disapproval rating was 48 percent. By comparison, Republican Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska, who voted against the bill, had a 63 percent job-approval rating.

He blames “misleading ads.”

*I originally wrote “Bill,” who is the Democratic Senator from Florida. Come to think of it… how’s he polling?
