Poll found 67% of surveyed voters say Dianne Feinstein is no longer fit to continue serving in the U.S. Senate, but little agreement over what she should do.
Five years ago, California voters blessed their senior U.S. senator with a decisive vote of confidence, sending the then 85-year-old Dianne Feinstein back to the nation’s capital for the sixth time instead of a much younger fellow Democrat.
“The poll clearly shows that while support for Senator Feinstein has waned considerably since 2018, there is no clear consensus about how the process should play out,” said IGS Co-Director G. Cristina Mora. “This will impact her ability to connect with voters and serve her constituents over the remainder of her term.”With the primary election 10 months away, the poll also found a wide-open race to succeed Feinstein when her term ends in January 2025.
Lee’s campaign said the poll shows “this race is wide open, and we are confident that Congresswoman Lee’s message will continue to resonate and her support will continue to grow. Lee’s campaign released a poll Wednesday suggesting that after voters learned more about the candidates, Lee and Schiff are even at 20% and Porter at 24%.
On Feb. 26, Feinstein was diagnosed with shingles and briefly hospitalized with the painful viral infection. She returned home to San Francisco on Mar. 6 to continue her recovery. But as her time away from the Capitol wore on for one month, then two months, Feinstein came under fire from some Democrats concerned her absence from the important Senate Judiciary Committee was impeding approval of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees.
“It’s a lot easier to dismiss the criticism from other politicians than it is from the voters who’ve elected her repeatedly over the years,” Schnur said.
