Donald Trump’s GOP Approval Rating Is 99 Points Higher than Mitch McConnell’s

President Donald Trump’s approval rating among Republicans is 99 points higher than Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY), according to CNN analyst Harry Enten.

The difference underscores McConnell’s diminished power in the Senate.

In the past few weeks, McConnell aligned with Democrats and voted against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. McConnell was the lone opposing Republican in most of the opposing votes, failing to persuade or cause fellow Republicans to tank Trump’s nominees whom he deemed unqualified or “unworthy.”

McConnell finds himself in a strange political situation and perhaps on the brink of political oblivion. As Trump leads the Republican Party toward America First and away from McConnell’s globalist ideology, the senator’s aides wheel him around in a wheelchair to vote against a Senate conference that he no longer controls with an iron fist.
As the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense following his tenure as the longest-serving Senate party leader in American history, he holds some power in the Republican-controlled Senate but not enough to whip votes against Trump as he once did.

Enten found Tuesday that Trump’s approval rating among Republicans is 99 points higher than McConnell’s and 42 points greater overall:

Can you believe McConnell still has not announced his retirement?  Beshear could change his mind and challenge McConnell in 2026, which is not a promising scenario.
