Kentuckians Down on McConnell’s Leadership

Here's the latest from Public Policy Polling:

A near majority of Kentucky voters disapprove of Mitch McConnell’s job performance and do not want him to continue as the Republican leader in the Senate next January. Voters are split on whether his leadership role is a good thing for the state. Democrats and moderates are even more against him than Republicans and conservatives are for him.

By a 48-34 margin, Kentucky voters are unhappy with the job McConnell is doing for them. Conservatives approve, 47-27, as do Republicans, 51-25, but 63% of both moderates and the 52%-majority Democrats disapprove.
