Forty-three percent of first-year Rep. Ben McAdams’ constituents “strongly” or “somewhat” approve of the job he is doing in Congress, according to a new poll, giving the lone Democrat in Utah’s federal delegation the highest show of support among his Washington peers.
The highest rate of disapproval in the poll goes to freshman Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, with 40% of voters objecting to his job performance compared to 38% who support him.
The numbers place Romney and Rep. Christ Stewart — 26% approve versus 33% disapprove — as the only members of Utah’s delegation whose ratings are currently underwater, according to results of the UtahPolicy.
