Poll: Most Americans oppose Pelosi’s reappointment as Speaker of the House

On Tuesday (Dec. 22), the U.S. media Politico came out with a morning poll. The results show that the vast majority of American voters oppose Pelosi’s continuation as Speaker of the House.

Steven Shepard, Politico’s senior editor for campaigns and elections, said, “The morning poll shows that only 31 percent of voters surveyed believe Pelosi should continue as speaker of the House when the new Congress begins, while 56 percent of voters surveyed oppose her continuation as speaker of the House. “

“An overwhelming majority of Republicans surveyed oppose Pelosi’s reappointment as Speaker of the House, at 83 percent. Independents surveyed also strongly oppose her renewal: only 22 percent say she should be renewed, while 59 percent say she should not be renewed.”

Mr. Shepherd added, “The findings are closely related to Pelosi’s overall popular image. Thirty-seven percent of voters surveyed have a favorable view of Pelosi, while 52 percent of voters surveyed have an unfavorable view of her. Among independent voters surveyed, 27 percent have a favorable view of Pelosi, while 58 percent have an unfavorable view of Pelosi.”

The current Politico morning poll, conducted Dec. 18-20, surveyed 1,995 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
