“Squad” member and US Rep. Cori Bush could lose big in this summer’s Democratic primary, according to a new poll.
A new poll by GOP firm Remington Research finds Bush, (D-Missouri), losing by 22 points to rival Wesley Bell in the Aug. 6 contest.
“It’s a big red flag for far-left Squad lawmakers,” Josh Kraushar, editor-in-chief of Jewish Insider, posted on X. “This data is yet another example why pandering to the left-wing radicalism on Israel in the Dem party is a counterproductive strategy for Biden.”
While the poll was a small sample size of just 401 voters, the results are stark.
In the survey conducted last week, 50 percent of those polled said they were in favor of Bell, a former prosecutor, with just 28 percent saying yes to Bush. The margin of error was 4.9%.
Bush has been as one of the sharpest critics of the Israeli government in Congress and a vocal advocate for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.
Her criticism of Israel following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, which killed at least 1,200 people, has made her a lightning rod and shows the chasm separating Democrats about how to respond to the Israel-Hamas war.
