JOHN BARRASSO AND MARK GORDON RANKED AMONG MOST POPULAR POLITICIANS IN THE U.S.

In a politically divided country, several Wyoming politicians are among the most popular elected officials in America.

A recent poll ranked John Barrasso as the third most popular Senator in the nation with a 59% approval rating among Wyoming voters compared to a 26% disapproval rating with his constituents, according to the research company Morning Consult. Among Senators, Barrasso trails only Bernie Sanders (65% approval) and Patrick Leahy (63% approval), both from Vermont. Wyoming’s senior Senator Mike Enzi ranked sixth in the nationwide poll, with a 56% approval rate, compared to a 23% disapproval rate.

A similar poll also ranked Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon as the fourth most popular Governor in the country. Just over a year into his first term, Gordon enjoys a 63% approval rating from voters compared to only 13% who disapprove, trailing only Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker (73% approval), Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (70% approval), and Vermont Governor Phil Scott (64% approval).
