Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell is the most unpopular U.S. Senator, according to a new national survey. The poll released by Morning Consult finds McConnell is the only senator with a disapproval rating higher than 50 percent. McConnell has a 52 percent disapproval rating among Kentucky voters, while only 38 percent approve of his job performance.

Sen. Gary Peters and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) have the lowest approval rating among their constituents at 37 percent.

The most popular U.S. Senator is presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, with 83 percent of respondents saying they approve of his job performance.

The most popular Republican in the Senate is Sen. Susan Collins. Some 78 percent of Maine voters said they approve of her job performance and only 16 percent said they disapprove

The survey concluded that, “while voters disdain Congress as a whole, they have much more positive views of their individual senators with 69 of 100 United States senators having approval ratings of 50 percent of higher among their own constituents.”

KEYWORDS: elections; mcconnell; polls
While on the one hand this means nothing, McConnell is safely reelected and holds power and there's nothing anybody can do about it, on the other hand, politicians are creatures of the winds, and they want to be with what's popular, not what's unpopular.

And as McConnell unpopularity grows, his power will diminish as that unpopularity is felt in the body he serves, through its members.

McConnell is a VERY vindictive man. His instinct will be to punish those who defy him, which will cause even more unpopularity, but within the body.

Mitch McDumbo aka “turtle face” is a pathetic excuse for a senator. His priorities are power and money, in any combination. He does dot give a rat’s ass on keeping a promise or doing the right thing.

I think it demonstrates just how effective Senator Cruz has been on the floor identifying McConnell as the leader of conservative defeat.

Turdle McConnell needs to be replaced.

If Trump and Cruz win, I think I want Sessions and Lee to be the new leaders.

Time to throw the Gutless Rinos out.

” McConnell has a 52 percent disapproval rating among Kentucky voters, while only 38 percent approve of his job performance.”

WTF? The “voters” of Kentucky just re-elected this turd to another 6 year term. He’s there until 2020, unless he somehow gets “called home.” We’re getting the government “we vote for,” but it’s a damned shame! And don’t get me going on that loony tune, Rand Paul!

Saw Vermont and Maine off of the mainland and hope they float somewhere far, far away.

I understand why Conservatives hate him, but why do dhimmicrats? Name a single bill passed without 100% unanimous democrat support and name one single (ONE) point compromised from Obama. He is a triple cup in reality, but only despised by democrats because they are programmed to march in lockstep to hate anything that has an (R) after its name...no matter what

“Sen. Gary Peters and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) have the lowest approval rating among their constituents at 37 percent.”

Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) assumed office on January 3, 2015. Pretty short honeymoon.
