Republican Approval of GOP Congressional Leaders Continues to Decline % who approve of thejob of.
Republicans’ ratings of their own party’s leadership have declined once again, hitting a record low. Today, just 32% of Republicans approve of their party’s congressional leaders down from 41% in May and 50% in February.
Just 15% of independents rate Republican leaders in Congress positively, which is little changed from May and six points lower than in February.
Democratic congressional leaders also do not fare especially well among independents; 27% approve of their job performance. Among Democrats, though, ratings of their own party’s leadership are much more positive than Republicans’ ratings of GOP leaders. Nearly two-thirds of Democrats (65%) approve of the job performance of Democratic leaders.
