Results: 133rd Senate Approval Poll

I'm very excited to announce the results of the first sponsored* GatoPoll (I am interested in more opportunities, so feel free to reach out)!

The poll was conducted by asking respondents to indicate approval, disapproval, or neutrality/unfamiliarity with each of the 13 current senators. After collecting 25 responses, the data was weighted to match the current party distribution (based on the data found here).

The numbers below represent the net approval ratings of each senator:

Most Popular Senators
1. Sen. Ppatpat (C): +55.7%
2. Sen. Muggy (Ind): +51.1%
3. Sen. MyPenJustBroke (NPP): +49.8%

Least Popular Senators
1. Sen. Lucas (Ind/SDNP): -34.6%
2. Sen. Kelvin (FBP): -19.5%
3. Sen. Milk (SDNP): -16.7%

Other Senators (highest to lowest)
1. Sen. Aerospace Enjoyer (LP): +44.4%
2. Sen. Niko Belic (C): +34.6%
3. Sen. Stalin (NPP): +29.2%
4. Sen. Cheez (LP): +12.5%
5. Sen. Eleanor (QQQ): +10.5%
6. Sen. AI Philosophy (SPQR): +7.9%
7. Sen. Dylan (USL): +7.8%

The results show that the senators generally have positive reputations; all but the three least popular senators have a disapproval rate of less than 15%.

The average approval rate was 31.5% and the average disapproval rate was 13.6%, making the average net approval rate for the current Senate +17.9%.

This data does show that a great deal of people are either unaware of certain senators or neutral in their opinions. The average response rate of "Neutral/Unsure" is 54.9%; unsurprisingly, the senators who received the least of that response were those at the extremes, such as Sens. Ppatpat (C) and Kelvin (FBP), but it should be noted that Sens. Cheez (LP), Eleanor (QQQ), AI Philosophy (SPQR), and Dylan (USL) have neutral response rates of over 65%, with Sen. Eleanor being the most neutral/obscure senator with nearly 75% of respondents choosing that option for her.

In short, while the majority of senators are popular and have net approval ratings, most need to expand their profiles across the voter base or improve their reputations to improve them beyond neutrality.
