Poll: Warren is Second Least-Popular New England Senator

Sep 19, 2016
Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) has looked into the future and does not see Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as a viable candidate for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2020

She has dominated the economic scene as the architect of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and has become a political force as a leader of the progressive movement. However, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is not exactly beloved by many New England voters.

A recent Morning Consult poll placed Warren with the second-highest disapproval rating among New England’s 12 U.S. senators. Warren’s 33 percent disapproval rating is only slight lower than the 37 percent disapproval rating from New Hampshire’s Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

On the flip side, Warren’s approval score registered a 57 percent—which may seem impressive, except that she ranks as the seventh most popular senator among New England voters. And 10 percent of Massachusetts voters admitted they were unsure what to think about her.

Morning Consult noted that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) scored the highest approval rating among the nation’s senators, with 83 percent support, while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) scored the highest disapproval rating at 51 percent.
