Democratic and Republican senators alike are to blame for congress having a 11 percent approval rating according to a recent Gallup Poll. Last week, we covered the top 10 most disliked Republican senators in the nation. From charges of racism to business fraud, our leaders continually let us down. People are tired of establishment politicians who use power for private money interest. How corrupt can our senate be? For those who missed the most disliked Republican list from last week click here. Here are your top ten most disliked Democratic senators!
10. Debbie Stabenow, Michigan
Recommended for you
Tough break for Stabenow who only became Michigan's senator in 2015, being a Michigan politician at the moment is tough with how the Flint water crisis is going. With how slow and terribly pathetic the state's reaction was to the crisis itself is really what tanked her numbers. Before the crisis she was actually quite progressive on most issues, including abortion; however, public health is a very important issue and on that one she blew it.
9. Micheal Bennet, Colorado
Micheal Bennet is a true politician true and through. Hungry for power, he will ride Hillary Clinton's coattails fed by dark money interest as far as it will take him. His numbers continually slip and this is mostly to blame for his approval of Clinton as a candidate. In a progressive state like Colorado, Bernie Sanders is seen far more favorably and with Bennet choosing to back Clinton, his voters feel betrayed; this is the reason for his slipping numbers.
8. Martin Heinrich, New Mexico
Here a trend begins: Hillary Clinton has very high unfavorability ratings, and you would think a politician would consider that before endorsing a presidential candidate. Just like Bennet from Colorado, Heinrich openly endorsed Clinton, causing his numbers to drop. The western United States tends to be very progressive by definition geographically, hence Bernie Sanders country. Endorsing Clinton exposes politicians true motives and will almost always tank their ratings.
7. Jon Tester, Montana
Establishment politician Jon Tester got addicted to honey and then couldn't stop sticking his hand in the honey pot. Reports from multiple sources shows Tester knowingly took money from media pundit Fred Eychaner. Not only did Tester take more money than allowed. the fact he took money from Eychaner speaks volumes. Eychaner is notorious for being one of the first super-pac funders in American history. When you take money from large super pacs and special interest your voters will almost always turn against you.
6. Claire McCaskill, Missouri
Claire McCaskill skirted around paying almost $300,000 in property takes regarding a private jet. In addition, sexual harassment claims against her husband, which seems to have gone without mention on any main stream media source, are also souring her credibility. Honesty and integrity are the two traits people want to see in their senators, and McCaskill is severely lacking in those two character traits.
5. Richard Durbin, Illinois
Durbin is the staple of establishment politics. Hiding behind a false sense of neutrality, Durbin continually controls Democratic National Committee funding and flow of the democratic party. Durbin lately has been insulting and fighting Bernie Sanders campaign with condescending remarks to Bernie's supporters. When you run a progressive platform, your progressive voters expect progressive results. Very simple concept right over Durbin's head.
4. Gary Peters, Michigan
Peters has two core factors affecting his negative ratings as a senator. First off, being a Michigan politician he, too, is affected by the Flint water crisis. This is an obvious cause for drops in his rating, but more importantly Peters has suffered tremendously due to 39,000 negative ads because of an upcoming election. These ads have hit him with charges from taking money to Michigan road conditions. However, for the sake of fairness, a lot of these negative ads are paid for by the Koch brothers which means there is a good chance no research was done when making them.
3. Bob Menendez, New Jersey
Greed. What greed can do to man is scary. It took a progressive candidate to the edge. Menendez is currently facing trial for bribery and exchanging political favor for gifts, cash, and vacations. Shame on you, Mr. Menendez. You're as disgraceful as Jersey shore stars; that's a really low standard to hit.
2. Barbara Boxer, California
Have you ever seen a rigged election caught on camera, no? Would you like to? You would? Turn on your cable news and I'm sure will see videos of the sham that went down in Nevada convention. Barbara Boxer pulled a fast one, changing convention rules last second to a vocal vote count. The amount of "boo'ing" in the video above is overpowering, even the pro Hillary side was not to pleased, really interesting twist there. So much discontent in one room. Barbara Boxer's numbers are sure to drop after this incident, California being one of the most progressive states in America is hardcore Bernie country.
1. Harry Reid, Nevada
Harry Reid, by the numbers is the most disliked democratic senator in the United States. In this list I have mentioned rigging elections a few times in brief detail. Well that's because here is the boss giving orders to establishment Democrats (mostly super-delegates) to rig an election for his candidate Hillary Clinton. It's OK to support candidates, its another matter when you spend money and time breaking down a rival campaign. Reid does this because he has no platform to actually boost Clinton's popularity in the public eye, rather than actually win the race based on policy he resorts to dirty campaign tactics and smearing. This easily explains Reid's sinking numbers. Hopefully, they sink enough we actually get this guy out of office.
