Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), after weathering multiple attacks from within his own party, is now one of the ten most popular senators in the country.

Recent polling shows that Manchin — who has often positioned himself as a roadblock to agenda items driven by far-Left Democrats and even President Joe Biden’s White House — has seen his popularity in his home state surge by 16 points since Biden took office.

“Over the past year, @Sen_JoeManchin has seen the largest job approval rating improvement of any senator. It places him among America’s 10 most popular senators for the first time since Biden took office,” Morning Consult political reporter Eli Yokley tweeted.
