According to the May 14-17 survey, 53 percent of Republican voters now hold unfavorable views of Cheney – up 10 percentage points over the course of a week, as more of the party’s voters formed opinions about her during her time in the spotlight. Just 15 percent of Republican voters view Cheney favorably, unchanged since the May 7-9 survey. Both surveys have a margin of error of 4 points for Republican respondents.
GOP voters are less certain about her replacement atop the caucus, Rep. Elise Stefanik, though the short-term trends look good for the New York Republican: Since polling conducted before her May 14 promotion, her favorability among Republicans has increased by 12 points, to 25 percent.
Roughly 3 in 5 Republican voters have yet to form an opinion about Stefanik, leaving room for views to shift as she takes on the role of No. 3 in House leadership while Republicans work to regain their majority in next November’s elections.
