Just The News: President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence each have higher voting-favorability ratings than the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
Pence had a 40% approval rating in Friday’s polling and Trump had a 42% favorability rating in a June 29 Just the News Daily Poll.
Those numbers compared to 39% for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 32% for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, 31% for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and 29% for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Rasmussen noted that Pelosi narrowly edges McConnell for the highest unfavorables (50% to 47%), while McConnell has slightly higher net negatives (minus 16 to minus 11). Those findings were also part of the poll released Friday. more here
Congress?
They’re the walking proof that our Republic is in trouble.
Pffft. Don’t get me started…
May every GOP hack in office drop dead, so we can start over. And if they dont drop dead soon enough, we need a new political party.
They’re both higher in favorability with me too. All the others need replacing.
Too many Americans are still completely ignorant of how the Congress is structured. The poll’s low results regarding Schumer and McCarthy is owed, according to Rasmussen, to people not knowing who either men are as well as “minority leader” being perceived as not as powerful regarding leadership.
I’ve never understood Favorability polls, anyway. With 95% negative news stories about Trump, Pence and the GOP generally, how can there be anything approaching an accurate poll?
That has to be gratifying considering everything that’s been thrown at him since before day one.
I hope the democrats are teetering on suicide.
