A new poll released Wednesday found the majority of Republican voters favor President Trump over Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell following last week’s showdown between the two over the GOP’s stalled agenda.

Sixty percent of voters polled believe Trump is more in touch with them, compared to 16 percent who picked the Kentucky senator, according to the Morning Consult/Politico survey taken Aug. 10-14.
