Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) approval rating has sunk to single digits, according to a Monmouth University poll released Monday, leaving him as the lone congressional leader to have a net negative rating from fellow Republicans.

McConnell garnered a 60 percent disapproval rating among American adults in the poll, with an approval rating of 6 percent. He is the only member within congressional leadership to have a negative score among fellow Republicans, accumulating a 10 percent approval and a 41 percent disapproval rating.

The poll showcased the sharp decline in McConell’s approval, which dropped twice since the last time the poll was conducted. Back then, the GOP Senate leader had a 12 percent approval and 50 percent disapproval rating, according to the poll released in July.

McConnell, 81, who is up for reelection in 2026, has not stated if he will run again. The Kentucky lawmaker, who won his seventh term in 2020, has frozen up twice this year while taking questions from reporters.

The first freezing incident happened in July, while the second incident took place in August when McConnell took questions in his home state. Earlier this year in March, he fell at a private dinner, suffering a concussion and a minor rib fracture.

The rest of the congressional leadership largely enjoys support from their fellow partisans.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), despite having a 21 percent approval and 41 percent disapproval rating, has strong support among Democrats with a 48 percent to 18 percent split.

House Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) shares similar figures, with a 21 percent approval rating and 22 percent disapproval rating, but among Democrats, the approval increases to 45 percent.

With approval this low he should step dow. Also this polls show Republicans are far more critical of their politicians than Democrats.

What's crazy is that he's the single most cunning, ruthless, and winning-est conservative politician of the modern era.

What's the reasoning for the drop though? Nothing stated there says why. Thought he's been the same guy forever.

And a large part of the Republican Party calls him a RINO, and have turned against him. It's been mind-blowing to watch.

Two things most likely. The extreme Trump supporting portion of the party thinks he is a RINO and the other portion thinks he is a corpse.

Polls and studies are proven wrong on a consistent basis, yet we continue to believe them every time they come out. At some point we'll learn that a lot of this "data" is just used to manipulate us.
