Poll: 40 percent of Democrats want Speaker other than Pelosi
By Michael Burke - 11/19/18 06:56 PM EST

Forty percent of Democrats would like to see a Speaker other than Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) when the party takes control of the House in January, according to a new poll.

The CBS News poll published Monday found that about half of Democrats — 49 percent — want Pelosi to be elected speaker. Another 10 percent of respondents said they didn't know, according to the poll.

Additionally, 76 percent of Republicans and 58 percent of independents said they would like to see someone other than Pelosi at the helm, the poll found.

The poll's results were based on interviews with a random sample of 1,103 adults from Nov. 15 to 18.

The poll comes as Democrats in the House remain somewhat divided over whether to support Pelosi, who has been the party's leader in the House for 15 years, as the next Speaker.

Whatever happens, it will be a House divided, which is a good thing.

Don't worry, be happy.

40% is not a majority.
