The last paragraph is interesting. I thought she was a little prickly in the last post-debate interview. But she has among the best support from her constituents in the whole Senate and she is among the best, maybe even the best at moving legislation.
From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Klobuchar
As of September 2009 58% of Minnesotans approved of the job Klobuchar was doing and 36% disapproved.
[27] On March 12, 2010,
Rasmussen Reportsindicated 67% of Minnesotans approved of the job she was doing. The
Winona Daily News described her as a "rare politician who works across the aisle".
Walter Mondale said, "She has done better in that miserable Senate than most people there."
[28]
At the end of the
114th Congress in late 2016, Klobuchar had passed more legislation than any other senator.
[29] In February 2017 she called for an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate ties between Russia and President
Donald Trump and his administration. Concern about Trump's ties to Russia increased after reports that his campaign officials had repeated contact with senior Russian intelligence officials before the 2016 United States elections.
[30][31] Klobuchar had already signaled her interest in U.S.–Russia relations in December 2016 when she joined Republican senators
John McCainand
Lindsey Graham on a trip to the Baltic states and Ukraine.
[32] She maintained high approval ratings throughout 2017, with an April 2017
Star Tribunepoll placing her approval rating at 72%.
[33] In October 2017
Morning Consult listed Klobuchar among the 10 senators with the highest approval ratings, and a November 2017
KSTP-TV poll put her approval rating at 56%.
[34][35] An April 2019 Morning Consult poll found Klobuchar to be the third-most popular sitting senator, with a 58% approval rating and 26% disapproval rating, behind only Vermont Senators
Bernie Sanders and
Patrick Leahy.

According to the Center for Effective Lawmaking, Klobuchar scored "above expectations" with respect to how successful she was at moving significant legislation in the 115th Congress (2017-18).
[37]
During the
Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination hearings in 2018, Kavanaugh gave heated responses to Klobuchar's questions about whether he had ever experienced
memory loss after consuming alcohol, for which he later apologized.
[38]
In February 2019
BuzzFeed News reported that Klobuchar's congressional office was "controlled by fear, anger, and shame".
[39] Interviews with former staffers indicated that Klobuchar frequently abused and humiliated her employees, with as much staff time spent on managing her rage as on official business.
[39] Politico reported that Klobuchar was one of the "worst bosses in Congress", with an annual staff turnover rate between 2011 and 2016 of 36%, the highest of any senator.
[40] A
Vanity Fair article alleged she had a reputation for cruelty and emotional abuse.
[41] In response, 61 former staffers wrote an open letter praising Klobuchar, stating that she was a caring “mentor and friend” to them.
