Endgame: Mitch McConnell’s job approval falls … to nine percent
Hot Air ^ | August 23,2017 | Allahpundit

Nine percent. This same poll from PPP has Vladimir Putin’s favorable rating among Americans at 11 percent. McConnell’s less popular than Putin, than war, than famine — than even a Republican health-care bill.

This makes three gruesome polls for McConnell in as many days. A poll of Kentucky published Monday, also by PPP, had him at 18 percent in his home state. A survey conducted by former Trump campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio released yesterday put him at 27/44 nationally, down 25 net points since June. Now here’s PPP with a new national number so unspeakably awful it can’t possibly be accurate. Can it?

Here’s a very real scenario the GOP might be facing next fall: Nothing significant has passed but Trump and McConnell have healed the rift in the name of preventing the midterms from turning into a Democratic rout. What will Republican voters do if the first two years of Trump’s term have produced zippo legislatively but the president is out there regularly revving up his voters to turn out en masse and create an even bigger congressional majority for him in 2019? That is to say, how much of the dismal polling for Congress right now on the right is due to policy failures and how much is due to the personal pique between Trump and McConnell et al.?

Hilarious. From 18% to 9% in less than a week. TurDles aren’t supposed to anything that quickly.

Probably Kentucky Republican Somnambulists who are brain dead.

Trump should threaten the ENTIRE GOP Senate “leadership” to RUN AGAINST THEM in 2018. “I’ll bring your whole f**king house down,” he should calmly state. Trump should tell them his “friends” will commit $1 BILLION to primary or defeat each and every one of them up for re-election if they don’t fall in line now.

McConnel sucks no matter how many times a poll is taken. He is a worthless POS that is a Democrat enabler.

They don't care. IT doens't matter to them if it's a democrat or republican house and senate. If they get voted out they get a sweet retirement deal and millions of dollars a year as consultants and lobbyist. They are set for life. They don't care.

Nine percent? If real, he should have the grace and self-respect to resign.

McConnell opined that he didn’t think the Trump presidency could recover. He didn’t think his constituents would notice that he’s dropped all pretense and is openly playing for the other side.

Somehow, when the election comes, he will have it up and win. We can’t get rid of them.

Yes, PRESIDENT Trump has the bully pulpit and an attentive media, even if they hate him. He should call out each and every Republican that has crossed him, say get in line, else he and Republican voters will find a replacement. Talk and money. Get rid of McConnell, Ryan, Flake, McCain, and all of these losers that won’t get aboard.

Doesn't really matter much. He doesn't run till 2020 I believe, by which time everything will have changed.
