From Fox & Hounds:
The election is a little more than a year away and no major Republican candidate has announced a run against incumbent U. S. Senator Dianne Feinstein. Often cited as the most revered politician in the state, Feinstein has won four elections to the senate, and in a strong Democratic state, she would seem tough, if not impossible, to beat.
Still, there have been signs that the challenge may not be hopeless. The last two Field Polls have here approval rating a scant four points and two points ahead of disapproval. That’s quite a contrast from previous polls showing pluralities ranging from nineteen to twenty-nine points in the year before her elections.
Furthermore, the senator would have to deal with the issue of her age – 79 at the beginning of another six-year term. Admittedly, the age issue has not been an impediment recently for politicians seeking high office in the Golden State.
