Poll finds most Americans and most women don’t want Pelosi as Speaker

 

As Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) continues her efforts to persuade Democrats to let her again become Speaker of House, a new poll finds Americans oppose the idea.

 

In a Hill.TV American Barometer survey conducted Nov. 24 and 25, 60 percent of registered voters said that the veteran legislator should not lead Democrats when they take control of the House in 2019. Forty percent said that Pelosi should become Speaker.

 

Those numbers represent an improvement from an August American Barometer poll which found that 73 percent of voters wanted Democrats to pick “someone else” to lead them in the House.

 

Among respondents who identified as Democratic voters, 58 percent, agreed with the statement that Pelosi should become Speaker because she “is a strong leader who helped her party retake the House” while 42 percent agreed with the statement that she should not become Speaker because “her national profile is a liability for her party and it is time for new leaders.”

 

A majority of self-identified independent voters, 63 percent, said they saw Pelosi as a liability while just 37 percent said she was a strong leader who deserved to become Speaker. An even greater number of Republicans, 76 percent, said Pelosi should not become Speaker.

 

Notably, despite being the first woman to lead a party in Congress, a majority of female respondents, 57 percent, said they see Pelosi as a liability for Democrats. Only 43 percent said Pelosi is a strong leader who should become Speaker.

 

The 78-year-old San Franciscan has led Democrats in the House for 16 years through a combination of legislative savvy and a willingness to attack internal critics. Pelosi is using those skills to try and persuade holdouts, many of whom explicitly promised voters they would oppose her Speakership.

 

Republicans, including President Trump, have claimed that they want Pelosi to become Speaker again since she has been a fixture of GOP messaging for over a decade, in a way that former Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and former President Obama once were. Trump has even offered several times to encourage Republican members to vote for Pelosi, saying that she ”deserves” to be Speaker.

 

”I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House,” the president wrote in a Nov. 17 Twitter posting….
