Half of Republican voters in a new Morning Consult/Politico survey said the House Republican Conference should remove Cheney as conference chair, compared with 18 percent who said she should retain her post. The May 7-9 survey of 1,994 registered voters has an overall margin of error of 2 percentage points, while responses among Republicans carry a 4-point margin of error.
Republican men were 12 points more likely than Republican women to support the push for Cheney’s removal, which came after she doubled down on her critique of Trump’s rhetoric during the recent congressional recess. In a Washington Post op-ed, she wrote that her party must choose between the 45th president’s undemocratic approach or “truth and fidelity to the Constitution.”
