In poll after poll, Americans give the cold shoulder to Congress. The latest Gallup poll shows that Americans give Congress an 18 percent approval rating — its highest mark since May 2015.
Despite the bottom-of-the-barrel numbers for Congress, many Americans tend to approve of their specific representative. But in 2014, 51 percent of respondents said they disapprove of their representative, the first time that number crested the 50 percent mark.
With all of these negative reviews, it’s worth asking: Do Americans like anyone in Washington, D.C.?
Using data from Morning Consult, Graphiq politics site InsideGov examined which senators are the most popular among their constituents. Morning Consult conducted interviews with more than 62,000 registered voters from Jan. 8, 2016, to April 17, 2016, to find which senators have the highest approval rating. InsideGov ranked the list by approval rating, and in the event of a tie, senators are ranked by their disapproval rating. In one instance, two senators have the same approval and disapproval numbers; they were listed alphabetically.
