Jim Hood's voting if he became a senator/approval rating?

[Bidenworth2020]

Suppose Hood wins MS-Sen as McDaniels primaried Wicker

How would senator Hood vote in the Senate and what would his approval be?

my best guess-

                  eco.  soc.  for.  com.
conservative 51    55    47   40
liberal          49    45    53   60

approval-49-39-12

Jim Hood sounds like a solid candidate, but remember, Mississippi is still a deep red state and I'm not too optimistic about his chances. He has a better shot at the governor's mansion.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I love Hood, he's great. Probably votes 45% with Trump and has a 48/36 positive approval.

[Rjjr77]

Probably something like 49% approve, 37% disapprove. He could certainly win a Senate race, but I think he'll run for governor in 2019. 

Yes, and anyone who doesn't  think he has an excellent chance at the governorship is kidding themselves.

Depends on who he is running against.

He will be a Southern populist - slightly left of center on economy, substantially right of center on social issues (as Mississippi is one of the most conservative states on social issues).Together that would make him one of the most "conservative" Democratic Senators. But, of course, "conservative" now means "not far from center", not being "new James Eastland"....

He'd have a good chance against literally any other Repuboican row officer. At least 40% chance.

Against Del Hosemann or Lynn Fitch? Sure. Tate Reeves? No. Stacey Pickering? Maybe.

Just cause he's been elected doesn't mean he has a 40% chance of winning.
