R<\/span>oughly two-thirds of Democrats<\/a> believe Sen. Dianne Feinstein<\/a> (D-CA) should resign, according to a poll. <\/p>\n

Feinstein, 89, has been recovering from a shingles diagnosis last month. Her time away from the Senate has frustrated Democrats, drawing increased calls for her resignation. Officials such as Rep. Ro Khanna<\/a> (D-CA), who publicly demanded her resignation, appear to be supported by the majority of Democrats, with nearly two-thirds supporting her resignation, according to<\/a> an Economist<\/i>\/YouGov poll. <\/p>\n

SENATE DEMOCRATS STUCK WITH FEINSTEIN DILEMMA AFTER JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SWAP FAILS<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n

The poll found that 64% of Democrats believe Feinstein should resign, compared to 71% of Republicans and 70% of voters. <\/p>\n

Ideological liberals were slightly more sympathetic; only 59% believed she should resign. Ideological conservatives had less sympathy, with 76% believing she should resign. <\/p>\n

The revelations of the poll could provide new impetus for Feinstein to step down. Senate Republicans have refused halfway measures, such as temporarily replacing her on the Senate Judiciary Committee<\/a>, as urged by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). <\/p>\n

Though some leading Democrats have come to her defense<\/a>, such as fellow Democratic Californian Rep. Nancy Pelosi<\/a>, who decried calls for her to resign as sexist, some think the party is subtly pushing her to resign. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think what the Democrats are trying to do to Dianne Feinstein is terrible \u2014 I think what they\u2019re trying to do is force her to resign,\u201d Sen. Josh Hawley<\/a> (R-MO) told reporters on Tuesday. \u201cI think that this is a maneuver designed to fail. This has never been done \u2014 this kind of swapping in one member for another. I think they know it’ll fail. And then they’ll flip around and say to her, \u2018See? You have to resign,\u2019 and it’s terrible, but it’s not my call.\u201d <\/p>\n
