A Quinnipiac University poll found that 35 percent of New York voters do not approve of the job that Schumer is doing.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s approval rating is at it’s lowest point since 1999 among New York voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday.

The poll found that 35 percent of New York voters do not approve of the job that Schumer is doing in the Senate, while 53 percent of voters approve.

This is the lowest approval rating that Schumer has received from New York voters since he was first elected to the United States Senate in 1999.

Schumer’s low approval rating follows the minority leader’s failed government shutdown in January over immigration reform.

Political pundits and Democrats widely panned the government shutdown caused by Schumer and Senate Democrats as a failure.

This probably happens all the time in the Senate. When he was just a Senator, Schumer could just represent the interests of his own constituents. As Senate Minority Leader, he becomes a national figure and comes off as a clown when he does stupid things like shutting down the government over illegal aliens who don’t even belong here.
