Most Democrats don’t want Nancy Pelosi as speaker: Poll

Published



A majority of Democrats do not want Nancy Pelosi to lead the party as House speaker during the next Congress, a new poll showes.

More than half of the Democratic or Democratic-leaning likely voters surveyed by Gallup before the 2018 midterm elections said they would prefer to see Pelosi replaced as the party’s leader in the House, compared with about one-third who would like to see her stay at the helm of the caucus. That breakdown remained roughly the same when respondents along the political spectrum — from self-identified moderate Democrats to more progressive liberals — were asked for their opinions.
