Poll finds little support among Dems for replacing Pelosi

Only about one-quarter of Democratic voters think House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should be replaced, according to a new poll.

A Politico/Morning Consult poll finds just 27 percent of Democratic voters think Pelosi should be replaced, compared to 41 percent who think the Democratic leader should stay in her post.

Another 31 percent don’t have an opinion.

{mosads}Forty-three percent of all voters think Pelosi should be replaced, pollsters found, compared with just 26 percent who think she should remain.

Pelosi’s favorability ratings are higher among Democrats in the new poll. Forty-nine percent of Democratic voters have a favorable view of Pelosi, compared with 25 percent who have an unfavorable opinion.

In all, just 31 percent of U.S. voters view Pelosi favorably, and 46 percent view her unfavorably.

The poll was conducted from June 22 to 24 among 1,994 registered voters. The margin of error is 2 percentage points.

Republicans say they will look to tie House candidates across the country to Pelosi, whose leadership has come under new scrutiny following a disappointing loss in a House special election in Georgia.

After that loss, questions resurfaced about whether Democrats can retake the House with Pelosi leading the charge.

Some Democrats argued that the loss was a wake-up call that Democrats need to do more soul searching and find a message that resonates with voters.
