A strong majority of Americans from both political parties – 60 percent – support the move by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and his colleagues in the House of Representatives’ decision to remove Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca) from the Speakership, according to a CBS News poll.
Exactly three-quarters of the 2,155 U.S. adults surveyed told pollsters they approved of the decision because McCarthy “wasn’t effective” as House Speaker. A total of 54 percent of conservatives approved of his removal, with 70 percent of liberals concurring.
The two predominant reasons why the public disapproved of McCarthy was because he “prevented a government shutdown” at 59 percent and it “disrupted Washington” at 54 percent. For the new speakership, 64 percent of the American electorate believe it’s important that the new Speaker tries to “cut federal spending.”
Representative Matt Gaetz‘s motion to vacate followed the House passing a temporary funding measure to avoid a government shutdown last week. Republicans are expected to meet this week to discuss McCarthy’s replacement, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) seen as favorites.
