Ouch:
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is deeply unpopular among his own constituents, according to a new poll released Monday. In fact, the only current senator with a lower approval rating is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has infamously blocked hundreds of popular pieces of legislation.
According to a Morning Consult Political Intelligence survey of all 50 states, just 37% of registered Wisconsin voters approve of Johnson, while 51% disapprove. The remaining 12% said they did not know or had no opinion.
This made him the second-most unpopular senator out of the 100 currently serving, after only McConnell; Kentucky voters disapprove of him by a 60%-33% margin.
Though Johnson's 37% approval rating in the poll is dismal, it is actually slightly higher than in other recent polling. Some recent surveys put his approval at 35%, while a March Marquette University Law School poll found him at just 33% support.
The Republican is currently seeking reelection to a third term, breaking a promise to serve no more than two.
