The approval rating of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has plummeted to just 18 percent, a survey from Public Policy Polling has found.

The approval rating of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has plummeted to just 18 percent, a survey from Public Policy Polling has found.

The poll, which surveyed 645 Kentucky voters, found that just 18 percent of respondents approved of McConnell’s current performance, compared to 74 percent who disapproved. Seven percent of people said they were not sure.

, who is the longest-serving U.S. Senator in Kentucky history, having represented the state since 1984, was recently criticized by President Trump for failing to pass the healthcare reform bill through the Senate.

“Can you believe that Mitch McConnell who has screamed Repeal & Replace for 7 years, couldn’t get it done,” Trump wrote on Twitter earlier this month. “Mitch, get back to work and put Repeal & Replace, Tax Reform & Cuts and a great Infrastructure Bill on my desk for signing.”

Voters in Kentucky also have a far higher opinion of Trump’s job in office, giving him a 60 percent approval rating. In last year’s presidential election, Trump carried the state by 62.5 against Hillary Clinton’s 32.7 percent

Calling Mitch McConnell a "Republican" is insulting to me. I'm not a freaking fool. And I don't like being made fun of.

I wonder how many of the voters who voted for him because "he's not a Rat and we can't afford to lose the Senate" wish they could vote again. The failure of these Pubs to do what they said they would do should cost them their jobs, but it doesn't. The voters keep putting them back in expecting better results. I know I won't do that anymore and I'm encouraging all my friends to do the same.

It is shameful that they don't keep their promises and that there are no consequences for it.

It's all part of the uniparty, the monoparty, one party rule.


McCain is one of the architects of single party rule. Graham, McConnell, are all with him.


The ultimate goal of all these weasels is to get the American people out of politics altogether. These smug elitist A-holes believe that they are the 'ruling class'. And that they are not responsible to anyone except themselves.


Why they keep getting elected is because that is how they have set the system up. It is almost impossible to run against them, and win.


They know it. They built it. And they love it.


When you give the employees the ability to set up their own positions, and to vote themselves raises twice a year, this is what you get. There is no controlling authority. All the pretend 'controlling' constructs are all controlled by the people that they are supposed to watch.

Conservatives told you that back in 2014.  The TEA Party even backed a challenger that almost primaried McConnell.  Unfortunately, certain establishment asshats broke out their checkbooks and saved McConnell's job that year.

Maybe if you had listened to Conservatives, you wouldn't have McConnell standing in your way right now.  But you didn't.  And you still don't.

OK, so the folks in Kentucky have finally realized that Mitch ain't their guy any more.

Who's stepping up there to replace him?
Who's going to run against him?

Names, please?

They have no one to blame but themselves. In 2014, they could have gotten rid of McConnell during the primary with Matt Bevin. They chose not to, but apparently thought enough about him to elect Bevin governor in 2015.

McConnell IS a Republican -- a lying, conniving, thieving liberal Republican.  He is what the party is now.

I am political junkie who has kept up with this since kind of stuff since the '60's.  McConnell is by far the worst Majority/Minority Leader at least in my lifetime.

How he remains in power, is something from a bizarro world / alternative reality.

He stays in power because 99% of his colleagues are just like him.  And I'm sure bribery, such as the promise of a committee chairmanship, in exchange for votes helps.

Bingo.  Unless he steps down or a conservative steps up to run against him chances are the same people that are belly aching will vote for him again.
