Many of us will not put any faith in polls. However, this is one poll that may be worth exploring.
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 RINOs and vice versa.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
This unfortunate—but inevitable—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. Astoundingly, the number is just one point higher than with [d]emocrats, who checked in at 7.6% “very favorable.
[As] Republican leaders justify the vitriol against them by constantly selling out to the liberal establishment, [l]iberals actually like and support the elected officials they choose because they feel represented.
[This] gives [d]emocrats a massive advantage at the polls while the Republicans are busy stabbing their voters in the back.
To Baris, the logic is simple: Politicians “can’t govern like this.” Especially if they want to get anything done. Which may very well explain the fact that Republicans typically don’t get anything done.
Democrats have a key advantage that has absolutely nothing to do with demographics, gets shockingly little attention.
DEM leaders are LIKED by their own voters, who feel represented.
REP leaders privately hate their own voters, and the feeling is mutual. Can't govern like that. pic.twitter.com/stpqcPm5Cd

Sellouts like McConnell, McCarthy, Cheney, and all the other RINOs are hated widely by the voters, and yet they keep winning elections. This obviously is unacceptable. RINOs must be rigorously challenged in the primaries as President Trump is striving to do.
Oddly, one would think democrat voters are crossing over in large numbers to vote for RINOs, knowing this will aid the democrat cause.
Likely, however, are constituencies blindly voting for entrenched RINOs, ignorant of the misrepresentation they are receiving from said entrenched RINOs.
One thing is clear, some major changes are needed, and it likely starts with the entire top half of the GOP establishment.
Perhaps this poll will give We the People a nudge toward ridding the Republican Party of RINOs—at least a considerable number of them.
God speed to the powers of right and true.
And God speed to Conservatism.
