NIN Web Desk : (Dr subhrojyoti chattopadhyay); The president’s first 100 days, which the senator dubbed “100 days of chaos,” Schumer took questions from reporters. A reporter questioned Schumer about a new CNN poll released Tuesday morning, which revealed the longtime senator had a 17% favorable and 44% unfavorable rating. “There was a poll out today that has your approval rating lower than any other congressional leader, at 17 percent,” the reporter said. “Are you concerned that you may be a liability for your party?”
According to CNN’s poll from Tuesday, Schumer’s favorability rating was “his worst rating in CNN polling back to 2017.” The drop comes as Democratic voters continue to express frustration with party leadership over their response to Trump’s agenda.
Among Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents, Schumer’s rating fell from 46% favorable and 11% unfavorable in January, to 31% favorable and 30% unfavorable in April. The Senate minority leader’s favorability among younger Democrats was even worse, with 14% of Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents under the age of 35 having a favorable view, and 24% an unfavorable one.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have been gaining influence through their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour across the country, quickly becoming the faces of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Ocasio-Cortez stands at 47% favorable and 33% unfavorable among New York State voters. That’s a jump from 38%-39% the last time Siena asked about the progressive New York City congresswoman among a statewide sample of respondents, four years ago.
According to the poll, 64% of Democrats view Ocasio-Cortez in a favorable light, more than Schumer or Gov. Kathy Hochul. Six in 10 Republicans questioned in the poll view Ocasio-Cortez in a negative way, with independents evenly divided.
