A new Morning Consult report finds Republican John Kennedy among the top ten most popular U-S Senators. The survey found that 55-percent of Louisiana voters approve of Kennedy’s job performance. That’s the tenth highest percentage. LSU Political Science Professor Robert Hogan says a majority of Louisiana voters agree with Kennedy’s politics.
“He’s someone who takes policy positions and makes votes that are very consistent with ideological positions of the average voter in this state,” Hogan said.
Kennedy is known for his folksy, straight-forward criticism of the Biden administration and left-wing policies. Hogan says his soundbites, quotes and one-liners play well in a red state like Louisiana.
“The things he says are things that resonate with voters and mirror, or he certainly is able to articulate a lot of their beliefs,” Hogan said. “He has perfected the art of turning a phrase and getting the attention of the national media, especially the conservative media. These are messages that resonate.”
Wyoming Republican John Barrasso is the most popular at 74-percent
