It’s official! Matt Gaetz is the most hated politician in Washington, D.C. & possibly the whole world
Matt Gaetz is the #1 most loathed person working in the United States government. And in a world of Donald Trumps, MTGs, and George Santoses, that’s saying a lot.A new poll from the Florida Atlantic University Mainstreet PolCom Lab has found the gay-hating congressman is disliked by, well, pretty much everybody–Democrats, Republicans, and all those in between–since that stunt he pulled back in October when he led the charge to have Kevin McCarthy ousted from the speakership, sending Congress into chaos and paving the way for Mike Johnson, the most vehemently anti-LGBTQ+ House Speaker in modern history.The House Speaker once worked with a group that promoted gay conversion therapy.
The poll, which surveyed 946 voters in Florida, shows a whopping 57% of them disapprove of Gaetz’s performance. Even worse, the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2%, which means that number could be as high as 60%.Meanwhile, the survey found that just 21% of voters approved of the job Gaetz has been doing, while 8% were neutral, and 14% didn’t know.Not surprisingly, Democrats disapproved of him the most, at 82.9%, followed by independents, at 53.8%.
But even among a large percentage of members from his own party, Gaetz is not well-liked, with 36% of Republicans saying they despise him.All this jives with a report from CBS News last month, in the days immediately following McCarthy’s historic ousting, in which several of Gaetz’s constituents were asked their feelings about the 41-year-old accused sexual predator.“He’s a dirtbag person,” one person said.“He does what he does to get on TV,” another added.“We don’t deserve you.”To make matters worse, a new report published by The Daily Beast reveals that, in addition to being loathed by voters, Gaetz seems to be equally hated among his GOP colleagues.
