Poll: Republican Voters Lose Confidence In McConnell, Overwhelmingly Support President Trump
OANN ^ | March 10 | OANN

Posted on 03/10/2021 8:05:35 AM PST by RandFan

GOP lawmakers who have fallen out of favor with President Trump are feeling the effects as new polling shows Republican voters are shifting their support away from establishment figures. Among those receiving the electoral “cold shoulder” is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The 79-year-old Kentucky lawmaker, long known as the “Grim Reaper” for killing off numerous Democrat initiatives, ranked dead last among fellow Republicans in an Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters.

Fifty-seven percent of Americans expressed an unfavorable view of McConnell, including 29 percent who had a “very” unfavorable view of the Senate Republican. That included 49 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats, who were among around 1,000 U.S. adults polled in early March.

McConnell, who served as Senate majority leader from 2015 until two months ago, has played a vital role in numerous Republican initiatives. This included the cementing of a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court.

A former ally of President Trump, he most recently found himself at odds with the 45th president after he spoke from the Senate floor claiming President Trump’s comments sparked the January 6 capitol break-in.

“There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day,” he asserted. “No question about it.”

Mitch’s bitches need to go.

Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Grassley, Lankford, Lee, Scott and Rubio need to be replaced in 2022.

Blunt has already said he is quitting, MO should be able to do much better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An assertion for which there is no evidence.

There is a Rumor out that McConnell is considering resigning. Does anybody out there have any information on that?

Worth repeating.

SCOTUS has 2 conservatives (Thomas and Alito), a Kennedy (Kavanagh), a Souter (Roberts), a Sandra Day O’Conner (Barrett) and one too early to tell. Gorsuch has already signalled he is not 100% reliable, but he looks like he will side with Thomas and Alito more frequently than the 2 newbies. That doesn’t excuse his treasonous vote in favour of the stolen election.

I missed the whole era of conservatives admiring and idolizing the Turtle.

Now it’s over?

Guess I was distracted by his knifing Trump in the back, ensuring the elites in DC were safe from the voters, and making deals with the Dems to step all over voters’ desires.

Overwhelmingly Support President Trump

What a steaming pile of pig fesses that is it’s not a matter of the party it’s a matter of purging the Rinos and the lifer insiders.
Only an idiot would ever support a socialist so called president his party is turning America into a China type of country.

McTurtle gave more in service to the CCP

In 2010, the OpenSecrets website ranked McConnell one of the wealthiest members of the U.S. Senate, based on net household worth.[195] His personal wealth was increased after receiving a 2008 personal gift to him and his wife, given by his father-in-law James S. C. Chao after the death of McConnell’s mother-in-law, whose value has been estimated to be between $5 and $25 million

Agree. We have a very far left court. 8 - 1, to be precise.

Murkowski isn’t going anywhere. The voters already “primaried her ass” and she won a write-in campaign. Not gonna happen.
