How does Mitch McConnell continue to be elected year in and year out by the people of Kentucky?
I have long wondered how one of America’s most reviled political figures carries so much political clout. McConnell has been around for ages, and is, in fact, the longest-serving Senate leader of all time.
Newly released polling information makes this even more puzzling. A recent Monmouth University poll found McConnell’s approval rating at a paltry 6%. This makes McConnell the least popular member of Congress.
WLTR previously reported that America’s least popular Congressman froze up not once, but twice while addressing the media.
Knowing all of this, is it time for Mitch McConnell to finally retire and leave public life behind? Let us know in the comments.
Mitch McConnell gets a *6%* approval rating (60% disapproval) in the latest national Monmouth poll.
