Why are Feinstein's approval ratings as good as Boxer's?
http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=7b20ec7f-5ac5-43ed-b41a-d77d69bea681

From what I have seen, different polls from different pollsters all indicate Boxer and Feinstein's ratings are pretty similar. Here are the recent surveyusa results from the link above.

Overall
Feinstein 55% approve, 39% disapprove
Boxer 53% approve, 40% disapprove

Democrats
Feinstein 70% approve, 24% disapprove
Boxer 67% approve, 26% disapprove

Liberals
Feinstein 68% approve, 25% disapprove
Boxer 69% approve, 25% disapprove

Boxer's voting record is much more progressive, and California is a blue state.
What gives?

1. Maybe people confuse the two?
All politicians look alike.
