"Poll Reveals Low Republican Support for Mike Johnson as Speaker, Will He Secure Enough Votes?"
Only 1 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents favored Mike Johnson (R-La.) as the Speaker of the House, according to a recent poll. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) received the most support with 23 percent, followed by former President Trump with 15 percent. Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had 6 percent support. Johnson's low standing in the poll is likely due to his lack of national recognition. The poll also revealed that support for McCarthy's ouster dropped as the Speaker vacancy continued.
