WASHINGTON – Statewide, Rep. Ilhan Omar is an unpopular member of Minnesota’s congressional delegation and Rep. Betty McCollum and Sen. Tina Smith enjoy high favorability rating, according to a new MinnPost/Embold Research poll.
Twenty-seven percent of the statewide poll’s respondents said they viewed Omar, D-5th District, favorably, while 57% said they viewed her unfavorably. By calculating the difference between the favorable and unfavorable percentages, pollsters come up with a net positive or negative score for politicians. In Omar’s case, the negative 30-point gap was the widest of any Minnesota politician included in the poll.
That’s a higher unfavorable rating than poll respondents gave former President Donald Trump in a state that has not elected a Republican president since Richard Nixon’s reelection in 1972 and where no Republican has won statewide office since Gov. Tim Pawlenty was reelected in 2006. Poll respondents gave Trump a 35% favorable and 57% unfavorable rating.
**SNIP**
More bad news for Biden: 50% of Minnesotans surveyed preferred to vote for a congressional candidate who would “be a check on Joe Biden’s policies,” while 40% said they would vote for a congressional candidate who supported the president’s policies.

“For a U.S. House member, unless you are in a position of power like Nancy Pelosi, (name recognition) is not a good thing because it usually indicates you have a lot of negative attention on you,” Lindberg said.
Although Omar’s popularity ratings were dismal in the state as a whole, the poll showed she remains more popular in the area around her Minneapolis-based district. Respondents to the poll who live in Minneapolis and St. Paul gave Omar a -9 favorability rating, while Greater Minnesota and Twin Cities suburban respondents gave Omar -41 and -52 net favorability ratings, respectively.

Omar is about as evil as any member of Congress can be. In spite of everything this country has done for her , her mission is our destruction. Like most of the members of Mad Moe’s Mafia she wants her gang to take complete control.
All because pansy ass white people thought Somalians would become good Americans.
Here’s a hint d-bags, Somalia is Somalia, because of Somalians.
Feel free to insert any African country.
Somalis , must be a lot of Gang/Gun violence there
Seems like racism. Betty McCollum is as far Left as Omar, but McCollum has high favorability in the same metro are.
she’s an arrogant little bitch.
One of South Park’s best episodes along with “Night of the Living Homeless.”
OK then…
Definitely a good one.
It was an odd one, but I liked “Royal Pudding”.
Omar barely won her primary in August by only 50.3%. Even the 5th district is starting to sour on her.
The squad is now disliked. AOC was booed. Omar very unpopular.
Is it enough to unseat them ? Doutbtful. Will the Red Wave remove any squadees ?
At minimum, the squad may be held responsible for the size of the red wave and diminish their influence. Lots of Ds will holler and scream that AOC, wokesters, greenies fanaticism killed the party for the next 2 decades.
Only statewide?! She's unpopular nationwide!
Omar. If the GOP were any good there would be headlines about her crimes before the election.
Why do they let it all go for her but we have to endure political witch hunts against Trump and his supporters?
Falsified immigration documents she signed.
Just a start of what’s wrong with her.
She just needs to win her district. All “unpopular statewide” means is that it’s not a good time for her to run for the Senate or Governor.
to commit immigration fraud
i love the squad
they are the face of the dem party
they should be on tv 24/7
The “Squad” is a show cooked up by an organization called the “Justice Democrats”, a leftist outfit.
