How many Minnesotans want him to resign?
Only a paltry 22 percent say he should stay in office, while one third of Minnesotans polled believe he should resign. Another 26 percent want to wait and see what the Senate Ethics Committee concludes in their investigation of the matter.
Franken was accused by a female news anchor of kissing and groping her without her consent in an incident while both appeared on a USO tour in 2006. A second accuser said he groped her while they took a photo at a state fair in 2010.
