Nikki Haley claims Trump is America’s most unpopular politician, but polls indicate it’s actually Mitch McConnell.

Nikki​ Haley: Trump is​ the Most Disliked Politician in America

Former ‌U.N. ⁤ambassador ​Nikki Haley made a bold statement during Wednesday’s ⁤Republican presidential debate. She called former President Donald ⁢Trump “the most disliked politician in all⁤ of America.” Haley reiterated this point in a mid-day​ interview on Fox News the following day.

However, the polling data tells a different story. According to RealClearPolitics’ tracker of favorability ratings, Senate ‍Minority ‌Leader Mitch McConnell holds the ⁣title of ⁣the ⁤most ⁣disliked politician. McConnell’s average net-favorable‌ ratings ⁢are more than ⁣35 ​points⁢ below zero, surpassing Trump’s numbers.

While none of the listed politicians enjoy positive​ favorability numbers, California⁣ Rep. Nancy Pelosi comes in as the second-most disliked leader. Trump follows closely behind Pelosi, with Vice President Kamala‌ Harris, ⁣President Joe Biden, Senate Majority⁢ Leader Chuck Schumer, and incumbent House Speaker ⁣Kevin‌ McCarthy also⁣ ranking unfavorably.

So, if Haley​ wants to highlight⁤ the most unpopular politician in‌ America, she should focus on the number one Republican in the upper ⁣chamber.

The Most Hated‍ Politician ⁤Among Democrats

When it comes to ⁣Democrats, there is a strong case to be made for Trump as the ​most hated‍ politician. He currently faces 91 charges across four⁢ politicized investigations. However, among Republicans, Trump remains the most ⁤popular ‌politician in America, with a significant lead over the rest of the GOP primary field.

Trump’s Recent Remarks on McConnell

The⁣ Republican frontrunner recently skipped a debate in Wisconsin to have an interview with former Fox News​ host Tucker‌ Carlson. During the interview, Trump criticized McConnell, referring to⁢ him as a “bad guy”​ who⁢ undermined ⁢Republican ‍voters by ⁤not ⁤strongly opposing Democrats’ impeachment ⁢efforts.

McConnell’s ‌Response

Meanwhile, McConnell has ‍chosen⁣ to remain silent regarding Democrats’ attempts ⁤to jail ⁢Trump. Last⁤ fall, McConnell managed‌ to maintain ⁢his leadership position ⁤by focusing on⁣ a Republican​ minority that he could control, ‍rather than a conservative majority ⁣that he couldn’t.
