RON’S COMMENT: This is the latest compilation of Senate job ratings that were put together based on polling conducted from January thru the end of March. Of the top 20 places, 9 are Democrats, 9 are Republicans and 2 are independents (who caucus with Democrats). Of the bottom 20 places, 7 are Democrats and 13 are Republicans…. Note that the two “independents” rate among the top 4…. The only senator to break 60% is Bernie Sanders (I-VT)…. Only 22 senators score 50% or better, while 23 score below 40%…. The only two senators with higher negative than positive ratings are Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ)…. In the 2020 elections, incumbents seen as most vulnerable are Doug Jones (D-AL), Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Martha McSally (R-AZ). Susan Collins (R-ME) will also have a well-watched race.
