Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is less popular with Republican voters than GOP Rep. George Santos, who recently stepped down from his House committee assignments after he was criticized for repeatedly lying about his background.
A new poll from Monmouth shows that while 23 percent of GOP voters find McConnell “favorable,” 53 percent of conservative constituents see the Kentucky senator in an unfavorable light. That “clearly negative rating,” as researchers at Monmouth put it, means voters view serial liar Santos, who raked in only 42 percent unfavorability, with 11 percent less negativity than the official leader of the GOP Senate.
McConnell also scored poorly compared to Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was stripped of her committee assignments by Democrats for posting controversial statements to her Facebook prior to her election and even shamed by members of her party. Approximately 30 percent of Republican votes approved of Greene, while just 19 percent were critical of her.
