Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has earned the status of the most unpopular senator, a Monday Morning Consult poll revealed.
McConnell’s approval rating is just 33 percent, while his disapproval is 60 percent, giving him a net approval rating of -27 percent.
McConnell’s approval rating is worse than his fellow Republican establishment senators: Susan Collins of Maine (47-49 percent), Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (45-45 percent), and Mitt Romney of Utah (48-43 percent).
On April 7, McConnell was asked by Axios reporter Jonathan Swan about why Republicans “hate” him so much. “Recent polls show your approval ratings are in the 30s among Republicans, not Democrats — Republicans,” Swan prefaced. “Why do they hate you?”
“My job is not to run up political popularity nationally,” McConnell responded. “I’m not running for anything nationally.”
McConnell’s history reflects the swampy politics of the Washington, DC, establishment. According to a report from the New York Times last week, McConnell was grateful to Democrats for launching Donald Trump’s impeachment trial after January 6.
“The Democrats are going to take care of the son of a bitch for us,” McConnell purportedly said. “If this isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is.”
Donald Trump has reportedly been pushing for McConnell’s ouster as Senate GOP leader. Trump has reportedly asked Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) to contest McConnell for the position. Scott has simply stated that he is focused on reclaiming the Senate from Democrats in 2022.
