The approval rating of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has plummeted to just 18 percent, a survey from Public Policy Polling has found.
The poll, which surveyed 645 Kentucky voters, found that just 18 percent of respondents approved of McConnell’s current performance, compared to 74 percent who disapproved. Seven percent of people said they were not sure.
Voters in Kentucky have a far higher opinion of Trump’s job in office, giving him a 60 percent approval rating. In last year’s presidential election, Trump carried the state by 62.5 against Hillary Clinton’s 32.7 percent.
Some of these Republicans need to wake up and smell the coffee. They are not going to get reelected by catering to the Washington Elitists, or the liberal main stream media. No matter what someone like Mitch McConnell does, he will not win over liberals. He needs to keep his base happy to have any chance of reelection.
While McConnell may think he is winning his war of words with the President, because he listens and responds to the echo chambers of the Sunday Morning News shows, Cable News, and the NYT, WaPo Print media...
The fact is that he is losing (and losing bigly) to the President where it actually matters, with the voters.

I'd say all of these Republicans, including especially Trump, need to realize that they're not just "losing bigly" to each other, they are losing the country.
It's gotten to the point now that the Republicans need to compromise with the Democrats to get anything done, because the fringe wing is recalcitrant even with their own party. Not that any of that was unexpected.

And he will still win unless they have pictures of him doing a goat in front of the Washington monument..
