Mitch McConnell is also incredibly unpopular with the voters, with positive ratings down in the single digits, which makes him a drag on the whole GOP Senate ticket. His rating with voters is much worse than Biden or Pelosi or GOP House leader McCarthy. One post election poll put his positive rating at 8% and another at 7%, while his negative ratings are in the 70s. McConnell is unpopular with everybody - Republicans, Independents, and Democrats, although ironically his most favorable numbers come from Democrats.

A Senate race in Colorado several election cycles back show McConnell's distain for both conservatives and the grassroots. In Colorado, the easiest way to get on the primary ballot is to win over a certain percentage of the state GOP convention vote, and the less easy way is by petition. Usually, two to three candidates get enough convention votes to make the primary ballot, but that year, grassroots support was so strong for a black conservative county commissioner that he took the convention by storm and was the only one making the primary ballot from the convention. McConnell's annointed candidate, a squishy state legislator, had to get on by petition. When the votes were counted in the primary, the black conservative county commission won by a wide margin, while McConnell's candidate ran a distant fourth. Initial polls for the general election showed a tight race, but McConnell in a huff announced his PAC was pulling out of Colorado because the nominee could not win. The Republican nominee's campaign took a big hit on fundraising from McConnell's knife in the back and ended up losing the seat. McConnell plays a "rule or ruin" game with conservatives.

Elections are won by use of effective messages that communicate the differences between your party and the opponent to the voters. In 2022, polls showed that the GOP had the issues, but they failed miserably in the messenging. RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDnaiel was asleep at the switch on this, and Kevin McCarthy made only a feeble effort at it, but Mitch McConnell was downright awful on it, and that showed in the disappointing election results. McConnell did almost nothing to put up distinctions between the GOP and the Democrats, and instead tried to almost blend them together, the exact opposite of what one does if they want to win. The only real messenging McConnell did actually helped the Democrats with his whining we were going to lose due to "candidate quality". That is long time McConnell code for candidates more conservative than he is, ones who actually care about issues instead of just playing the game. Several election cycles ago, McConnell publicly vowed "to crush them [conservatives] everywhere" and this cycle it appears McConnell was more interested in seeing GOP conservatives lose than Democrats lose. McConnell pulled money out of close Senate races and kept $40 million in the bank after the election rather than spending it to help Republicans win. Even after the election, McConnell joined with the Democrats to hamstring the new Republican House majority by eliminating their power of the purse for the first year of their two year term, through his treacherous omnibus deal.
