Senate Democrats File Ethics Complaint Against Hawley, Cruz Over Capitol Attack MORE (Mo.) have been plunged in the aftermath of the violent riot in Capitol earlier this month, according to a new poll.
According to the Morning Consult poll released Friday, among all voters in their home state, Hawley’s approval score dropped 6 points between January 6 and Monday. Cruz’s voter approval rating fell 3 points in the same period.
Both senators also saw a drop in approval ratings among Republicans in their home states. Hawley’s approval rating fell 9 points among Republicans in Missouri to 63 percent, while Cruz’s fell 5 points among Republicans in Texas to 76 percent.
Cruz and Hawley have faced backlash for their role in challenging the Electoral College vote during the certification process in Congress on the same day of the Capitol riot, which killed five people.
Seven Senate Democrats on Thursday called on the Ethics Committee to investigate the two Republican senators and specifically whether their objections to the electoral college’s results violated the chamber’s ethical rules.
Both senators have denounced the violence that broke out, but stuck to their decisions to object to the results of the Arizona and Pennsylvania Electoral College.
Hawley called the probe requested a “blatant attempt at partisan revenge.”
The Morning Consult’s Political Intelligence poll was conducted among about 3,000 voters in Texas and 1,000 voters in Missouri. The poll before January 6 was held between December 27 and January 5, and from January 9 to January 18 after that.
