Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is the least popular senator in the U.S., according to a new Morning Consult poll, with the Kentucky lawmaker alone in the upper chamber with a disapproval rating of more than 60 percent among his home-state voters.
McConnell garnered a 64 percent disapproval rating in the survey, with an approval rating of only 28 percent. He was followed in unpopularity by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), with disapproval ratings of 55, 53 and 52 percent, respectively. The four are the only senators with disapproval ratings higher than 50 percent.
McConnell, 81, is not up for reelection until 2026 after winning reelection to his seventh term in 2020. Despite regularly polling at the bottom of senators in popularity, the GOP leader beat Democrat Amy McGrath, a retired Marine, by nearly 20 points in that race.
On the other end of the popularity spectrum, eight senators had an approval rating of more than 60 percent. Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) was the most popular with a 65 percent approval rating, followed by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), John Thune (R-S.D.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii).

Mitch doesn’t care.
I despise McConnell, but there are far worse in the Senate than him.
He is just the target for both left and right, so he wins the prize.
Yet they all consistently win re-election by wide margins every cycle.
Yes he is. He plays for the (D) to win because he wants them to win and that they do.
Except and there is a very large exception......
The Republican Senators who elect him leader favor him for the job over all others. He apparently has the ability to lead the Senate in an manner acceptable to the majority of Republican Senators.
Time to retire and go back to China ,LOL
How can that be?!?!
Mitch is the “First Ukraine Caucus - Kentucky, USA” Chairman
Exactly!
Sounds like another fall at a swanky party is needed.
He’s almost as bad as Nadler and Schmuckie.
And yet Ron Johnson was just reelected to another 6-year term. Ron Johnson is a stout rock star. One of the few Republicans with courage and who actually does something.
Well, Trump loves him, that’s what’s important.
What are you measuring “worse” by?
How the hell did he win re-election?
“And yet Ron Johnson was just reelected to another 6-year term. Ron Johnson is a stout rock star. One of the few Republicans with courage and who actually does something.”
Yep. Ron Johnson has a “high disapproval” rating because he calls out the commie RATS and RINO scumbags. Normal people really like him.
Not without fraud of some kind.
I LOVE Ron Johnson...and he’d make the perfect vice president for Trump.
