Americans have a less favorable review of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after his calamitous and combative Senate hearings, according to polling from The Washington Post and Ipsos.

The poll, taken between Sept. 11 and Sept. 15, found Kennedy’s approval rating in free fall, with just 42 percent of Americans approving of his job performance and 55 percent disapproving.

The WaPo/Ipsos poll was conducted after Kennedy’s Sept. 4 Senate hearing in which he fought with Senators over the firing of CDC director Susan Monarez.

During the hearing, Kennedy also denigrated Operation Warp Speed, the Trump-initiated operation to get COVID-19 vaccines out to the public in record time. Politicians, health experts and even Kennedy’s own family members have called for his resignation in the wake of the hearing.
