Manchin Sees Collapse Of Approval Rating

US

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) has seen a collapse in his approval rating following a summer where he played a pivotal role in pushing Democrat legislation through Congress.

  • Manchin received backlash from Republicans after making a backroom deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to revive the partisan reconciliation bill, formally known as Build Back Better but slimmed down and rebranded the Inflation Reduction Act, shortly after Senate Republicans agreed to pass the bipartisan Chips and Science Bill.
  • According to Morning Consult, “Manchin saw a greater decline in his approval rating [around 10 percentage points since early in 2022] and a larger surge in disapproval than any other Senate incumbent,” placing him amongst the least popular Senators in Congress.
  • Morning Consult: “The increase in disapproval was driven largely by West Virginia Republicans and independents...”
  • The data will be of concern to Democrats as Manchin’s broad appeal as a centrist is seen as key to maintaining control of the West Virginia Senate seat. If trend continues then Democrats are likely to lose control of the seat in a 2024 election cycle already likely to favour the GOP.
