Former President Trump has a significantly higher favorable rating than Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) a recent Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll found.
The survey provided a list of high profile figures across the board in politics and found Trump standing at the top in terms of favorability, garnering 46 percent.
That is higher than every other figure featured on the list, which includes President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and more.
McConnell’s favorable figures are toward the bottom half of the list, garnering a 25 percent favorable rating — 21 points lower than Trump’s. Further, Trump’s unfavorable rating is 47 percent, giving him a net negative of -1. However, half, or 50 percent, have an unfavorable view of McConnell, giving him one of the highest net negative approvals on the list at -25. Only one individual on the list, Russian President Vladimir Putin, saw a higher net negative rating.
The only high profile figures listed who came close to Trump’s favorable rating were Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Elon Musk, both of whom saw a 45 percent favorable rating. Both have a net positive rating as well — +14 and +8, respectively.
The survey was taken December 14-16, 2022, among 1,851 registered voters.
Trump has not remained shy when it comes to his opinions on McConnell, telling Glenn Beck in November that Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) “would be much better” as GOP leader than the 80-year-old politician:

Trust is a MAJOR issue, and TRUMP is the only one I can trust.
Musk can’t run for President.
“Musk can’t run for President.”
What about Putin?
Favorability? The Deep State cares for its own. That is all.
Or Matt Foley would say, "That and a nickel will buy you a nice hot cup of JACK SQUAT!"
.
That’s about right, too.
He jumps when Joe tells him to jump.
Seen it over and over and over…
Mitch and the GOP are useless..
Ron DeSantis and Elon MuskHaven't announced they're running so you'll likely vote for Biden again anyway.
“Haven’t announced they’re running so you’ll likely vote for Biden again anyway.”
Is Putin your guy?
Nice. You alter my post and attack me personally. DU troll tactics.
“Haven’t announced they’re running so you’ll likely vote for Biden again anyway.”
I quoted from the OP. Take it up with them.
There was nothing wrong with our candidates. Compare them to the Democrats. If our candidates did poorly, it was because #1 our political elites did not campaign hard for our nominees. McConnell, for example, was bashing our nominees before the general election, and he wasn’t the only one. #2 the media serves the DNC. Moderate or conservative R doesn’t matter. If he or she has an R by their name, the media will twist everything said or done to present the nominee in the absolute worst possible light.
Candidate quality is an excuse thrown out there mostly by RINOs when they didn’t get the nominee they wanted. It’s sour grapes.
Mitch McConnell doesn’t care.
He serves the Dems.

Ditto! It’s hilarious for people to parrot how unpopular McConnell is while being forced to admit that the POS continuously gets reelected.
Who the hell has a favorable view of McConnell?
He will do OK—the powers that really run thing like him. He’s got a job worth millions for life.
The Patriot party is sounding better and better....
Mitch is horse shit.
We know what to expect from the rats they are right out there in your face telling you how they are going to F you, but the GOP plays a different game of kabuki theater, shock disbelief, uphauled and in the next breathe they tell you we need to win the next election so we can do something. So sick and tired of them
