Dems officially decide to back Evan McMullin in Utah for senate rather than nominate someone else
Manchin has seen the biggest swing in home-state popularity in the last year. Built entirely from approval from republicans and independents, because his approval among Dems dropped 20 points.
Bernie and Leahy saw the biggest drops in the past year by far, but even with that they’re still
the third and sixth most popular senators.

Leahy needs to retire...the guy can barely talk whenever I see him on TV. Good lord the Dems are old...

Manchin should just go independent and caucus with whoever is in power that cycle. I understand he votes with Democrats a lot but not on the legislation that really matters. Anybody can do what he does.
I also don't buy that Mike Lee hasn't gained in popularity.
Not everybody can do it coming from WV, though. He’s a Dem senator in a state that went +40 GOP in 2020. Manchin has by far the biggest WAR of any senator. Once he leaves, WV is red indefinitely. Without him nothing would be getting done, not even judicial nominations.
If the Dems can pick up two in November and make him irrelevant, great, but right now he’s the only person stopping McConnell from full obstruction… again.
Lee could be losing popularity because he's been trying to both sides Dump. He won't gain any Dems because he's still a fiend, but he can lose Dump's cultists for insufficient submission.
I stand corrected then. I thought Lee has been outed as pushing to overturn the election in the last several weeks.
