Poll: Kevin McCarthy Is the Most Popular Leader in Congress
Nick Gilbertson 29 Jul 2023
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has the strongest favorability rating of any Congressional leader, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll.
The poll, taken on July 12 and 16-17, shows that 42 percent of likely voters sampled have a “favorable” view of McCarthy, while 41 percent have a negative view, giving him a net rating of +1 percent. Another 17 percent are unsure of how they perceive him.
His Democrat counterpart in the House, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY), has a -1 net favorability rating. He is liked by 34 percent of the respondents, while 35 percent find him unfavorable, and 31 percent are not sure of how they feel about Jeffries, who succeeded Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as the party’s leader in the lower chamber.
In the Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s favorability rating is deep underwater. Only 26 percent view McConnell, who inexplicably froze during a press conference Thursday, positively. That includes just six percent of respondents whose view of him is “very favorable.” Conversely, 64 percent say they view him unfavorably, and only 10 percent do not have negative or positive feeling toward him.
