Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) has overtaken Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as the country's least popular senator, according to the results of a new tracking poll.
What critics view as wavering positions on issues include whether the trial should allow witness testimony has made her the subject of bipartisan frustration. She issued a statement Thursday indicating that she has not made any decisions about witnesses, but she will likely support witnesses being called if the trial follows procedures in a manner similar to the 1999 impeachment trial of former President Bill Clinton, which took place three years after she was first elected to the Senate.
Although she is currently the senator with the country's lowest approval rating, Collins previously enjoyed a great deal of popularity in her home state. She won her most recent election by a wide margin, garnering over 68 percent of the vote in 2014. Her approval rating dipped around the time she played a key role in the controversial 2018 Senate confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh.
