44% Have No Opinion of John Thune
There’s good news and bad news for Sen. John Thune. The good news is, few voters have a negative opinion of him. The bad news for the incoming Senate Majority Leader is that most voters don’t seem to know who he is.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 28% of Likely U.S. Voters have a favorable impression of Thune, the South Dakota Republican tapped to replace Mitch McConnell as the GOP’s Senate leader. Twenty-seven percent (27%) view Thune unfavorably, and 44% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
