Mitch McConnell is toxic in every single Senate battleground

"SNIP......

As noted last week, McConnell is far more unpopular than Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 27-58 favorability ratings, versus 40-53, respectively. McConnell is a net-18 points more unpopular. There’s no doubt that his refusal to pass another stimulus bill in response to our national calamity is having an effect. 

In the Senate battlegrounds: 

STATE Mitch McConnell favorables Net

ARIZONA 27-58 -31

COLORADO 24-63 -38

GEORGIA 32-52 -20

IOWA 29-55 -26

KANSAS 29-52 -23

MAINE 22-63 -41

MONTANA 32-51 -19

NORTH CAROLINA 29-58 -29

SOUTH CAROLINA 32-51 -19

Those are cartoonishly bad numbers, with Republican South Carolina’s net -19 favorability rating being McConnell’s best results. 

Of these states, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Maine, and North Carolina are the top-tier races, and all are -20 or worse net favorables for McConnell. He really is toxic. Yet Democrats have never gone after him the way Republicans have tried to use Pelosi to scare voters into voting for them.

5. I hope he brings Barr and tRump into the tub with him.

I think they need an Olympic sized pool for their svelte bodies to all fit in together. Rub a dub, dub, three greedy sadists in a tub.

3. We need to be vilifying him as a foil for their smearing Pelosi; let's clear up who's the real demon

4. There's only one state that counts

6. Yes and no

I wonder whether it might help Democratic Senate candidates in other states to tie their foes to Moscow Mitch. Certainly Republicans running for house have tried to run against Pelosi rather than whoever their actual opponent was.

"A vote for Senator xxx (R) is a vote for Mitch McConnell's continued disastrous leadership of the Senate..."

7. This is a recipe for leadership challenge.

While he may win re-election, he will be challenged for minority leader.
