Mitch McConnell's poll numbers hit new lows in KY Poll (even Obama has higher approval)

[WI_DEM]

Mitch McConnell's seen a significant decline in his standing with Republican voters following his ill fated endorsement of Trey Grayson for the party's Senate nomination, and as a result his home state approval numbers are now by far the worst they've ever been in PPP's Kentucky polling.

PPP's last three polls found McConnell's approval ranging from 44% to 48% to 43%. Now only 34% of voters in the state like the job McConnell's doing with 48% disapproving. And beyond that a near majority of his constituents- 49%- would like to see him lose his role as Republican leader in the Senate to only 38% who think he should continue on in it.

Even President Obama has a higher approval rating in KY (37% opposed to Mitch's 34%).
