For Otter, the comparable figures were 47 percent favorable, 35 percent unfavorable/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.

Question: How can you explain the fact that Repub Otter's unfavorable numbers are almost twice as much as freshman Demo congressman Minnick's? Also: Otter is hinting at a run for re-election. How vulnerable will he be in a Repub primary?
