Poll: McConnell’s approval in Kentucky at 18 percent
By Rebecca Savransky - 08/21/17 12:57 PM EDT


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has an 18 percent job approval rating in Kentucky, according to a new survey.

A Public Policy Polling survey found just 18 percent of respondents approve of the job McConnell is doing, compared with 74 percent who disapprove.

If McConnell were up for reelection today, 37 percent of respondents said they would vote for the Kentucky Republican. Another 44 percent would instead choose a Democratic opponent, according to the survey.

An additional 19 percent said they were unsure.

McConnell's seat will be on the ballot next in 2020.

Hispanics, reduce taxes for the wealthy in case they win the lottery, and worse. It's not necessarily a good sign for Democrats, just like Trump's moderately low approval rate.

Of course I've been doing that for about 20 years now and it hasn't helped. (I couldn't vote against him when I loved in California.)
