POLL: McCaskill’s Net Approval Drops To -11, a 19-Point Drop Since Early 2017

Excerpt:

Sen. Claire McCaskill’s (D-MO) net approval rating among Missourians dropped seven points across the third quarter of 2018, according to Morning Consult‘s quarterly tracking of approval ratings for every U.S. senator.

McCaskill, whose net approval rating was +8 in both the first and second quarters of 2017, is now 11 points underwater. That’s a 19-percentage point drop in McCaskill’s net approval over 18 months – a staggering fall for a senator that was once more popular than unpopular among her constituents.

Here’s how her approval ratings have tracked, quarter to quarter:

Q1 2017: McCaskill 47-39 (+8)
Q2 2017: McCaskill 46-38 (+8)
Q3 2017: McCaskill 42-39 (+3)
Q4 2017: McCaskill 41-41 (+0)
Q1 2018: McCaskill 39-44 (-5)
Q2 2018: McCaskill 40-44 (-4)
Q3 2018: McCaskill 37-48 (-11)

I know someone who had to contact her for a brief interview related to something they were writing an article on. Afterwards they said, holy carp, that is hand's down one of the stupidest people I've ever had to talk to.

With any luck at all, she'll be back in the private sector before long and not enriching herself at taxpayer expense.

This article is from last month but it's pertinent:

Claire McCaskill refuses to come clean about how her husband got his money

*snip*

McCaskill and her husband, businessman Joseph Shepard, have only gotten wealthier since she came to Congress. Roll Call ranked her as the 24th richest member of the legislature pegging her net worth at a cool $26.9 million. Some of that cash coincidentally comes from her husband’s investments in federally subsidized housing projects.

According to financial disclosure forms, McCaskill’s husband made between $1,608 and $16,731 on those investments in 2006, the year before she entered the Senate. Fast forward a decade and McCaskill’s husband is somehow making between $365,374 and $1,118,158 from those same federally backed investments. What role did McCaskill play in making those investments? Did McCaskill ever pass along any insider information to her husband? It looks like we will never know and that isn’t just shady. It’s hypocritical. McCaskill plays it both ways when it comes to money.

When McCaskill doesn’t want to be transparent, she makes it seem like she and her husband have separate bank accounts.

When McCaskill needs the money though, like she did after she loaned herself $800,000 during her first campaign, she argued the family had joint resources.
