A new poll released by the political research group, Morning Consult, shows North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis coming in with the lowest approval rating among all 100 senators in the United States Senate. Overall, Tillis had more people who disapprove of him in North Carolina than approve. Tillis is one of only five senators who had higher disapproval ratings than approval ratings.
According to AL.com’s interpretation, he is the least popular senator based on approval ratings.

Tillis is facing a primary challenge in the 2020 election and these numbers don’t bode well. For his part, he has been changing his tune slightly, likely due to the pressure. Since May, he has attempted to improve his approval ratings by drawing closer to President Trump. While it may help him, Trump voters have a long memory and don’t forget people who try to protect Robert Mueller and go against the wall, a major cornerstone to President Trump’s platform.

Tillis joined the President for the rally in Greenville, NC on Wednesday. He was mentioned by the President, but the response was mixed as there appeared to be some cheers and also some boos in the crowd. President Trump also subtly swiped at Tillis by saying he had been very helpful for the past “3 months”, implying he was not helpful for the year and change after the inauguration.

One of his primary opponents, Sandy Smith, has been an ardent supporter of the president and supports him in many of her Tweets. She makes it very clear in her profile on Twitter as well as on her campaign page.
