This is true, but they are also re-elected at a rate of ~80% with no term limits on re-election (2022 saw a 100% re-election rate for Senators despite congress having a 75% disapproval rating at the time).

Hooray for the 2-party system.

Everyone thinks their senators are working for them. It's just the other 98 that's they disapprove of :D
