Americans apparently don’t like Sen. Mitt Romney.

Only 18% of Americans have a favorable view of the Utah Republican, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Among the group, a mere 2% have a “very positive” view of Romney, while 16% have a “somewhat positive” view of him.

The poll showed 38% of Americans have a negative view of the freshman senator, evenly split between “somewhat negative” and “very negative.” Another 37% described him as neutral and 7% didn’t know his name or weren’t sure.

Romney has emerged as a sharp and sometimes lone GOP critic of President Donald Trump since taking office in January. Most recently, Romney said Trump was wrong to ask Ukraine and China to investigate Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden.
