This Democrat is now the least popular leader in Washington: New poll

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) He brought up the backbenchers in a new poll that asked Americans to rate the job performance of 13 U.S. leaders.

Gallup’s latest pollThe survey, conducted on December 1-15, revealed that 28 percent of Americans approved of how Schumer carried out his duties.

That was the only figure below 30%; that was marred by an abysmal 39% approval rating among Democratic respondents. That represented a dramatic 37-point drop from January 2024, when 76% of Democrats approved of Schumer’s job performance. According to Gallup’s data.

The latest Gallup poll reflects a tumultuous year for Schumer.

The Minority Leader was ridiculed by Republicans and rebuked by his own party after eight members of the Senate Democratic Caucus broke ranks to end the 43-day shutdown without securing an extension of increased health care subsidies.

Schumer’s tactical misfire refuse to confirm New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has led some disappointed Democrats to call for new leadership.

“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and needs to be replaced,” said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.). Published on X. “If you can’t lead the fight to keep Americans’ health care premiums from skyrocketing, what are you going to fight for?”

Gallup found that beyond Schumer, none of the 12 U.S. leaders from Congress, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court or the Federal Reserve have received majority-level approval.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell received top marks with a 44% approval rating. He is followed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio (41%), Vice President J.D. Vance (39%) and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (39%) followed.

Other leaders’ performance is as follows: Gallup’s latest poll of the year:

• President Donald Trump: 36% approval

• Sublime Chief Justice John Roberts said: 38%

• Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: 37%

• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (DY): 37%
