Roughly 46 percent of U.S. adults said they either approve or strongly approve of the House's decision to oust McCarthy.
Almost half of U.S. adults support or strongly support the ousting of Congressman Kevin McCarthy from the House speaker's chair, according to a poll conducted Wednesday by YouGov.The Republican from California made history as the first speaker to be removed by the House of Representatives, in a 216-210 vote Tuesday. Eight of McCarthy's GOP colleagues joined with all House Democrats in attendance to oust the former majority leader.
McCarthy had faced criticism from some far-right members of the GOP caucus for months prior to his ousting, which was prompted by Florida Representative Matt Gaetz in a motion to vacate filed Monday. Republican lawmakers who supported the motion said their decision was made based on McCarthy's failure to deliver on a number of conservative policies.
