National pollster Richard Baris, colloquially known as “the People’s Pundit,” is calling attention to a massive issue that plagues Republican governance in the United States – GOP voters despise the elected officials who are elevated to office, and vice versa.This unfortunate situation is reflected in recent polling data, according to Baris, which shows GOP leaders, like Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, having critically low favorability among Republican voters. McConnell’s approval rating, specifically, is in the toilet, with just 9.7% of Republicans having a “very favorable” opinion of him.

I call bullschiff. Here's another saboteur looking to undermine GOP morale and suppress turnout. Sorry, butt-head, ain't gonna work.

Ignore efforts like this to discourage conservatives. We are winning.
When the Tea Party started, the GOP was 100% establishment. In a dozen years, the establishment is an endangered species. We've come a long way. and will make more progress in the midterms.
Keep your eye on the prize!

I'm not so sure this article is all that wrong. Democrat voters vote for Democrats no matter how tortuous it is. I see people on conservative site wanting to throw in the towel and give up on Republicans quite often. It is really quite hard not to feel the same way. Here we are making progress toward winning the next election in a big way along with holding the line against some of the wildly leftist agenda being pushed by this administration, and here comes McConnell along with several other RINO's and Texas Senator John Scornyn doing their absolute best to surrender to Biden on amnesty for illegals and not defending the border. Republican leadership certainly doesn't have much of my support. We have some really good people there, but the Chamber of Commerce ownership of leadership keeps them fighting against us as part of the Uniparty.

Laying the 'explanation groundwork' for the next election steal. Of course the people won't believe it. But here is the stuff we didn't know, just like how in Hades 81 million people came out to vote for Joe. Now it's on record.

ya, but unmentioned is compared to ANYONE then dems want to run against them? Repubs LOVE these guys, any dems "very favorable" ratings among repubs is effectively ZERO. "Very Unfavorable" is peaking the meter.
Lets see his numbers for Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff...Nadler.
He goes on to say "Repub leaders hate their voters"....but nothing in his poll suggests he ever asked them about it.
None of them has ever gone on public record saying they "Hate" repub voters, nearly EVERY Dem has and does near daily.
The ONLY Dems that do not are reviled by the rest of their party, and have "favorables" better than the very worst Repubs...Manchin, Sinema, Gabbard, pretty much are the only ones.

There may be the smallest kernel of truth but it is nothing of the magnitude this author hopes it will be.
Democrats are unprincipled and have absolutely no moral compass. Hell... they don't even have ANY kind of compass these days as evidenced by their inability to define what a man and woman are.
Republicans tend to have at least SOME core guiding principles. That is why Christians tend to be more conservative - or why conservatives tend to be people of faith. There ARE guiding foundational thoughts involved in the mind of a conservative. It may not be spiritual, but it WILL be something. The importance of the Constitution. The sanctity of life. And, when people have PRINCIPLES they WILL disagree with those that do not share them, even if in their own party.
Democrats can agree with each other because almost none of them have a backbone to start with. It is their great weakness. It is why they are so easily pushed into positions today that were unthinkable just a half dozen years ago. It is why Barack Obama could say at one point that marriage is between a man and a woman, then a scant 10 years later that statement, to a liberal, is an unthinkable insult.
Rest assured, no conservative of any substance will vote for any of the heartless fools who today make up the democrat party.

Just keep the Romneys, Pences (and Nikki Haleys) away. We've had it with those types.

The RINO leadership is hated because they are suckers and cowards. They refused to defend President Trump from the rigged election as was their duty under the constitution. When their moment in history came to stand and deliver, they abandoned the field in panic. They continue to maintain the absurd lie that the election was fair despite the video evidence to the contrary because they hate Trump more than they love this country. As The Who sang, "We won't be fooled again".

There is some truth here. In my red state, the offices of governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of house are a revolving door of Rebooblican cronies and good ole boys.

The point that Julian isn't stating:
Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, Pence, etc. etc. have come out of the closet and proven who and what they are by word and deed.
They can't back-stab us any longer. We don't take their word as gospel any longer. We are suspicious and look for the unstated / underlying reason for their position.
We'll vote them out of office soon. We are Winning....
The Donald (POTUS 45 & 47) rattled them so bad, they came 'out of the closet'

I will vote Republican even though the leadership is filled with RINOs. But what is the alternative? Even Romney, Murkowski and Collins sometmes vote the right way.

This guy is right.
Why is President Dementia in office?
Because the republicrats did NOT stand up and fight.
Why not?
Because they didn't want DJT disturbing their power for pay games. They JOINED the democrats to keep the best president in modern history out of office.
Of the 50 republicrat senators, I can tolerate maybe 5 of them and the rest are useless as udders on a boar. Go along to get along from the top down.
I have ZERO respect for the republican party. They are just as dedicated to our destruction as the democrats are.

The establishment doesn't consider it their fight. Their fiefdoms are set and they merely need to prevent conservative revolutionaries from gaining a foothold by organizing the serfs. There are few statesman, Ron Johnson comes to mind, who put consituencies before special interests, Most of these people go to see Mr. Smith comes to Washington and cheer for Claude Rains, not Jimmy Stewart.

Whether or not there’s hate involved, the Republicans sure have their fair share of nitwits.

The Republican state primary elections should put the RINOS out to pasture. Republicans in states that have elected RINOS who have been “outed” simply just should not vote for those RINO’s in the November election.

But the guys that are hated aren't on the ballot except McCarthy and that's a house district, I really like mt congressman plus many locals will include school board and other positions we know are very important.
So not a well thought out article.

Dem voters think the Leadership likes them? roflmREAR-ENDoff!!! They see the voters as "useful idiots" who will always be ready to drink the purple Kool-Aid. They blindly oblige.
The Leadership carries on in their merry way, and, why not?!? They can go to posh parties and big feats and social events and entertainment for the elites, go without masks, and be waited on by masked and tested servants. And the Dem voters grovel and obsequiously obey.

The fact that a large portion of so called Republicans are just another Uniparty Deep State corruptocrat willing to sell out the country for money, is a big problem.
Even if we manage to "take control" of the House and Senate in November - how many of those "Republicans" will still vote against all the things we want, and for the stuff the Dems want?

While it's true that the majority of Republicans aren't totally enamored with McConnell and McCarthy, compared to Pelosi or Schumer, they are beacons of virtue. This is a shallow case of divide and conquer and a very deep case of projection.

I absolutely despise my republican "representatives". At best they are self serving sneaks. At worst, traitors. I will vote against them in the primaries and in the general, if I vote for them at all, it will be with my nose held and consumed with shame. Voting for a crook because he is less of a crook than someone else is no virtue. Its how we ended up in this multi-generational mess in the first place.

In the pollster's defense. How can any American have much confidence in China's chief Asset in congress? Without the Help and Blessing of the CCP McConnell's wife would lose 100s of Millions of Dollars! Elaine Chao is a major Chinese asset!

I blindly cast my vote twice for people I hate and regreted it because I disliked the leftist democrats more but those idiots, I voted for did more for the 'colleagues across the aisle' than for their supporters. Never again. I don't have many election cycles left in my life to live by the old saying "we'll get them in the next election". If we don't swamp the riff raff out in the mid-term and get Trump or DeSantis elected in 2024 I'm not voting again ever. I'm old and tired. Yes I hate most republicans because they didn't back President Trump and all the good he did then some voted with democrats to impeach him. There where my hatred goes.

See, your guy’s the problem, not mine.
Primary ‘em!!! Yeah, and who here has ever filed papers to do that? Anyone? It’s not a simple popularity contest, and any incumbent/favored candidate has access to Aladdin’s cave if needed. Have at it…

The GOP desperately needs to be extinct and be replaced with a REAL political party that will aggressively go after and destroy socialists.
Stop voting for republicans.
