House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is beginning to lose it over the latest poll showing Republicans on track to take the House majority during the midterms in November.
During an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday, Pelosi fired back at host Andrea Mitchell after she was presented with polling from the New York Times and Siena College.

“The New York Times poll I think is an outlier poll, you cite one poll, but all the other polls,” Pelosi said before being pushed back by Mitchell.
The NYT/Siena poll found that 49 percent of voters are more likely to vote for a Republican candidate in the midterms, compared to the 45 percent voting Democrat. 52 percent of voters also trust Republicans more to manage the economy while only 38 percent put their faith in Democrats.
Pelosi’s comments come after a new Jan. 6 video showed her saying she wanted to “punch” former President Donald Trump during the Capitol riot.
“I hope he comes,” Pelosi is heard saying of Trump. “I want to punch him out. This is my moment. I’ve been waiting for this. For trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I want to punch him out, and I’m going to go to jail, and I’m going to be happy.”
As November 8 approaches, the Dems are fearing that the infighting and the overall dissatisfaction with the Biden administration could cost them their majority in both houses of Congress during the midterms.
Democrats are also increasingly rejecting President Joe Biden as their party’s 2024 presidential nominee, with 56 percent of Democratic voters saying he should not mount a re-election run and 35 percent saying he should run for a second term, according to a poll by ABC News/The Washington Post.
More and more Democrats are also making the switch from blue to red because of Biden’s failures.
In Pennsylvania, for instance, more than 39,000 Democrats have switched their party registration in 2022, compared to the measly 12,000 voters who have switched to the Democratic Party from the GOP.
This indicates that an increasing number of Americans are losing trust in Biden, including fellow Democrats who are already blaming him for the party’s impending doom.
