A new poll shows registered California voters have mixed feelings about Dianne Feinstein — the nation's oldest currently serving U.S. senator — seeking a fifth term.
The Field Poll found Feinstein, 82, continues to get high approval ratings, with 44 percent praising the job she's doing and only 29 percent disapproving.
But asked whether she should seek a fifth term in 2018, 43 percent believe it would not be good for the Golden State, as opposed to 41 percent who believe it would.
The poll also found partisan differences in whether Feinstein should seek another term, with 62 percent in favor and 23 percent opposed. But Republicans oppose another term, with 68 percent against and only 20 percent in favor.
The Field Poll reports Feinstein's current job approval ratings are similar to the last two surveys it conducted in 2013 and 2014.
In 2012, the veteran politician received the most popular votes — 7.75 million — in any U.S. Senate election in history.
The Field Poll, established in 1947, is an independent, non-partisan, media-sponsored public opinion news service.
