Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s favorability rating is at an all-time low, according to a national poll released Monday.
The Gallup poll showed the Nevada Democrat’s “net favorable score” at -24. The net favorable score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of those polled who respond to a candidate or issue unfavorably from the percentage of those who respond favorably.
In the most recent poll, only 21 percent of respondents said they had a positive opinion of Reid, according to The Washington Times.
This is not a terrible surprise to many poll watchers, given some of Reid’s statements this year about issues that matter most to Americans.
Reid, after all, is the senator who claimed that the border was secure despite an enormous number of illegal immigrants crossing into the United States.
He also bragged that on his watch the Senate would take no action to investigate the deaths of four Americans at the U.S. diplomatic mission at Benghazi, Libya.
He has also hypocritically labelled Republicans as obstructionists, while at the same time he refused to allow hundreds of House bills, most of which passed the House with significant bipartisan support, to come up for votes in the Senate.
Even among Democrats, only about half said they viewed the senator favorably.
Harry Reid is a liar, a willing henchman of President Barack Obama’s unconstitutional power grabs, a first class obstructionist, and the worst kind of hypocrite.
Hopefully, what he won’t be any longer, once the new Senate is sworn in, is the majority leader.
