While the county executive, who has served in multiple capacities in the district since the 1980s, has an approval rate of 68 percent and a disapproval rate of 18 percent, Bowman\u2019s performance is viewed positively by only 36 percent and negatively by 55 percent of Democrats in the district. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Latimer does 32 points better on the positive side, while Bowman\u2019s negatives are a massive 37 points higher than Latimer\u2019s. Very few unindicted elected officials receive such strongly negative ratings from their co-partisans,&#8221; pollster Mellman said, adding that &#8220;the data are clear: With a robust campaign, the well-known and highly regarded Latimer is in a strong position to unseat the now unpopular Bowman.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Bowman spokesman Bill Neidhardt dismissed Mellman\u2019s poll, claiming that &#8220;[Mellman] doesn\u2019t have an ounce of credibility here, and his junk numbers back that up.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Bowman, one of the eight progressive &#8220;Squad&#8221; members in Congress, has been vocal in his criticism of Israel.
