The GOP leader was said to have lost support among Republican voters amid struggles to secure the necessary votes in the House.
Results on similar metrics from late 2022 don't fall too far from these, suggesting that Republican voters have not exactly embraced McCarthy, even as he emerged as a clear favorite to become the next speaker.a late November 2022 national poll by Deseret News/HarrisX found that Republican voters were evenly split on whether he should remain as party leader , with only 33 percent agreeing he should continue.
One caveat here is the sample size: Rasmussen spoke to about 300 GOP voters . We don't know how well these people might represent GOP voters more broadly and, arguably, closed questions might have missed out on other important details relevant to those opinions. Additionally, if the tweet by Catturd2, stating that more than half of GOP voters didn't want McCarthy as speaker, was based on the Rasmussen results, it may be deemed misleading. While only 48 percent said they approved of him becoming speaker, of the remaining respondents,A lack of response doesn't necessarily mean that all of those voters"don't want" McCarthy as speaker, so the"well over 50 percent" claim is inaccurate.
Nonetheless, the most recent numbers and data recorded even before the House voting began, might give some food for thought to Republicans assessing their options as the race for the speaker's chair drags on.It appears that this claim is based on one recent poll, in which less than half of 300 likely GOP voters said that they approved McCarthy for the role of speaker.
Other polling regarding his popularity conducted in November 2022 also suggested that he has struggled to find broad appeal among Republican voters.that more than half of GOP voters do not want him as speaker are based on the most recent poll, then those claims are misleading. Only 29 percent of respondents from the most recent survey data explicitly opposed McCarthy's candidacy, while about one-quarter of those polled could not provide a yes or no answer.
