Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s favorability among New York Democrats has dropped to 52%. That’s down from 73% in December 2024, according to CNN analyst Harry Enten.
A poll by Data for Progress reveals that 55% of Democratic likely voters favor New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over Schumer for a 2028 Senate primary.
Enten noted that only 50% of New York Democrats support Schumer’s continuation as Senate leader, indicating a potential for a primary challenge.
Polling shows a significant decline in confidence among Democrats regarding congressional leadership and economic issues, with only 39% believing they would ‘do the right thing’ now, according to Gallup.
