Poll: Chaffetz's favorability ratings haven't moved since he announced he was leaving office

Rep. Jason Chaffetz's favorability hasn't changed much since he announced he was not running for re-election in 2018 according to a new poll.

56% of 3rd District voters say they have a favorable opinion of Chaffetz. In March, before his announcement that he would not seek re-election, 52% of 3rd District voters viewed him favorably. However you slice it, those numbers are a significant drop off from the 73.5% of the vote he carried during November's election.

The most recent poll gives Chaffetz a +19 net favorability rating. In March that number was just +13, so it's safe to say that Chaffetz is on the way to rehabilitating his public image after a very rocky start at the beginning of the year when he made some controversial statements.

The most recent survey found that millennial voters do not like Chaffetz at all, but older voters have a much higher opinion of him.

0% of voters between the age of 18 and 24 see Chaffetz favorably, while 60% hold an unfavorable opinion. A little more than 1/4 (27%) say they've never heard of him.





Those between 25 and 34 have a favorable opinion 51-43%.





Voters between 35 and 44 view Chaffetz favorably 52-39%.





45-54-year-old voters say they have a favorable opinion of Chaffetz 54-38%.





Voters between 55 and 64-years-old feel favorable toward Chaffetz 63-34%.





Voters over the age of 65 have a favorable view of Chaffetz 68-29%.

Not surprisingly, Chaffetz is well-liked by conservatives while those toward the middle and left of the political spectrum view him less favorably.

83% of voters who describe themselves as "very conservative" hold a favorable opinion of Chaffetz.





70% of "somewhat conservative" voters have a favorable opinion of the congressman.





61% of moderates view Chaffetz unfavorably.





Only 10% of those who are "somewhat liberal" have a favorable opinion of Chaffetz, while 80% have the opposite view of him.





93% of "very liberal" voters in the 3rd District have an unfavorable opinion of him.
