Pew poll: 50 percent approve of Democrats in Congress
BY CRISTINA MARCOS - 04/16/21 11:41 AM EDT
Half of Americans approve of Democratic congressional leaders' performance compared to only about a third who said the same of their GOP counterparts, according to a new Pew Research Poll out Friday.
The poll found that 50 percent of respondents overall approved of Democratic leaders in Congress and 47 percent disapproved. Sixty-four percent of respondents disapproved of Republican congressional leaders while 32 percent approved.
The support for Democratic leaders in Congress has jumped nine points since the spring of 2019 in a time of divided government, when Democrats controlled the House and Republicans still held the Senate.
Pew attributed the increase in approval to higher approval ratings among Democratic voters.
