Showing Original Post only (View all)New York polls are full of warnings for Chuck Schumer [View all]
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's approval rating in New York has cleared 40% just once during the last six months, according to polling from Siena University.
His approval was at 53% at the same point in President Trump's first term, according to Siena.
Why it matters: Schumer is obsessed with his hometown polls. He's up for reelection in 2028 and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is eyeing his seat.
The minority leader's New York approval rating reached 38% in March, according to polling by Siena.

Schumer's loyalty to Israel and lack of strong leadership in a time of crisis are troubling to me. We need fire-breathers, not milquetoasts.

Well, I've been in a brawl where people were hurt. It sucks. It was at a political meeting.

He's not right for this period in our history, IMO. I'd be thrilled to be able to vote for someone else (Democratic).

If AOC wins his seat, she will not be senate minority or senate majority leader.

Haven't heard much about Gillibrand lately...She would then be the senior senator from New York.

I'm not one of the people obsessing on this as if he's some sort of obstacle to anything
