Jeffries approval rating worse than Mike Johnson as Democratic voters rebel
Newsweek reports that a final Economist/YouGov poll puts House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries at 26 percent approval, eight points behind Speaker Mike Johnson on net, amid a Democratic voter rebellion after the party's midterm sweep. Change.org petitions demanding new leaders have drawn hundreds of thousands of signatures, incoming senators are declining to back Chuck Schumer, and Jeffries has formally launched his speaker bid with no declared challenger.
