Cut it out, Americans by more than 2-1 tell the House: Elect a speaker, already
Insult to actual crash test dummies.
The soap opera that has consumed members of Congress for nearly three weeks over electing a new speaker is testing the patience of the voters who sent them to Washington, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds.
An overwhelming 67% say the House should elect a speaker as soon as possible, as decisions loom on wartime aid for Israel and Ukraine and legislation to prevent a government shutdown next month.
"We got to have a speaker, (but) I don't think we're going to have anybody soon," said George Ramge, 72, of San Diego, a building contractor and political independent. "There's a lot of Hollywood politicians out there getting their time on TV, and I don't think they're really serving the people's purpose."
"They need to be functioning, and that's the only way they're going to function," said Carl Hickey, 85, of Monkton, Maryland, a retired Methodist minister and a Democrat, said in a follow-up interview after being called in the poll.
