Hegseth more liked than other possible Blackburn Senate replacements: Poll

War Secretary Pete Hegseth appears to be a popular option to replace Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in the Senate should she win her race to become Tennessee’s next governor on Tuesday.

Despite the Iran war, an UpOne Insights poll published on Tuesday found that Hegseth has a 72% favorability to 13% unfavorability rating in Tennessee. The results come even as Democrats discuss the possibility of impeaching him, depending on the makeup of Congress next year.
