As House Republicans continue to struggle to elect a new speaker, a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that Americans increasingly blame them more than Democrats for the dysfunction on Capitol Hill.
The survey of 1,675 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Sept. 12 to 16, found that a full two-thirds now say conservative Republicans deserve at least “some” blame for “the current gridlock in Washington” , while nearly as many say the same about moderate Republicans.
Less than half say Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the hard-line co-founder of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Jordan, who was nominated by his colleagues last week to be the party's candidate for speaker,However, even fewer say interim Speaker Patrick McHenry or Trump himself should be the next Speaker of the House. If “not sure” and “none of these” were a candidate, they would have more support than anyone else.
Yet there are signs that the GOP’s seemingly endless speaker drama has not been good for its brand. A full 63% of registered voters now say the GOP isn’t “paying enough attention to America’s real problems,” up from 59% in January, while even more say Republicans are more interested in scoring political points than passing legislation . That 42-point margin is twice as large as the corresponding gap on the Democratic side .
