Torricelli's Rating Lower in Poll

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Sen. Robert Torricelli's approval rating has dropped
to its lowest level amid a federal investigation into his campaign
fund-raising, according to a poll released Thursday.
Thirty-seven percent of New Jersey voters disapprove of the Democrat
compared with 35 percent who favor him, according to the Quinnipiac
University poll.
It was the lowest rating in the poll for Torricelli since he was elected to
the Senate in 1996.
''The constant hammering is taking its toll on Senator Torricelli,'' said
Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Polls by Quinnipiac University indicate Torricelli's approval rating has
dropped slowly but steadily this year, from 46 percent in February to 41
percent in May.
The investigation into Torricelli's finances originally focused on his
successful 1996 Senate campaign, in which he raised more than $9 million.
Torricelli has never been charged, but seven people have pleaded guilty to
making illegal donations to his campaign.
Some prominent political figures say they are thinking about challenging
Torricelli, including former Republican presidential candidate Steve Forbes
and former Gov. Tom Kean.
