To no one’s surprise, a just-released NBC News poll reveals that feckless Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan has succeeded in becoming just as unpopular as his polarizing predecessor, San Francisco Democrat Nancy Pelosi.
The Survey/Monkey poll shows that 30% of those surveyed view Pelosi favorably, a statistical tie with Paul Ryan’s 31%. The two are also tied up in the unfavorable department, with 64% holding an unfavorable view of Pelosi, compared to 63% for Ryan.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is in even worse shape. A Harvard-Harris poll released last week showed the Kentucky Republican with a dismal approval rating of just 19%, the lowest of any politician in the country. In this same poll, Ryan’s favorable rating is 33%, which is in line with the NBC poll.
Meanwhile, President Trump’s approval rating sits at 39%, which is not great but is still better than his congressional counterparts, who are not the focus of a 24/7 hate campaign from our national media.
One need not be a political scientist to understand these dismal numbers for Ryan and McConnell. Both have been exposed as massive liars and frauds, both have serially-betrayed their base, both are terrible leaders who are unable to use a historic, once-in-a-generation opportunity to get a single thing done.
Ryan did manage to get Obamacare passed through the House, but it was an objectively awful bill

Recall the SOB!
Trump should go after Ryan and McConnell.
Yeah, wasn’t there a push to dump them? Well, that didn’t pan out.
‘showed the Kentucky Republican with a dismal approval rating of just 19%’
Hard to believe McConnell is still this popular. There must be a smattering of Democrats who approve of him, along with a few uninformed people and perhaps some swamp-related responders.
Democrats in R jerseys.
Disliked by both sides.
Once they’re a member of the D.C. elite, they don’t give a rat’s behind if they are liked or not. They’d prefer to be re-elected, but, if not, they’ll survive on a huge K street salary.
The only thing that matters is what the donors want. And the donors want open borders and globalism.
Popularity numbers for Congresspeople seem pretty meaningless; 90+% of them get re-elected anyway. They know they can get away with almost anything provided that they are in a “safe” district. And most districts are quite safe.
Good! Throw them both out! Let them have the sane treatment as will be given San Francisco Ann!
Stop calling them Democrats or RINOs. They are the real embodiment of the Republican Party. It’s Reagan and Trump who are the non-Republicans, even the real “Republicans in name only”. Freepers need to stop hugging the GOP, because its leaders laugh at you behind your backs
Paul Ryno is a dufus, POS!
Time to wake up and smell the coffee fellas or turn your man card in!
Poor Ryan is not man enough to give anybody the finger. He’ll do it behind your back .
We’re going into Round Two to oust Lyin’ Ryan via Paul Nehlen. Ryan had to spend $10.6 million last time around to keep his seat, so we’re not just doing NOTHING.
We also helped to give you President Trump.
Throw some money Nehlen’s way, versus flipping us off.
Eddie Munster deserves everything he gets for getting in the way of the American Public and Trump. He is an idiot.
If Trump listens to him on DACA it will be a BIG MISTAKE.
FDR actively campaigned for primary opponents of ‘rat senators who opposed him. Time for Trump to do likewise.
Ryan's district is safely RINO country. One freeper who lives there referred to that district's voters as "crony capitalists" and their fellow travelers.
Last go 'round his primary opponent Nehlen had a dismal showing despite some big name talkers like Laura Ingraham campaigning for him.
In the general election, the democrat is named Randy Bryce, he's an ironworker, and seems to be something of a Joe the Plumber "lite". Voting for this guy in the general would be the lesser of two evils.
McConnell is pouring millions into the Alabama Senate runoff on September 26th to demonize Roy Moore in favor of Luther Strange.
A report was leaked out a week ago saying POTUS was backing away from his first round endorsement of Strange.
I HOPE THAT STANDS.
McConnell is going full dirty to win the race and put another person into office who is Never Trump and Cheap Labor Express in his heart.
