As former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi prepares to retire from Congress after nearly four decades, early polling suggests her daughter, Christine Pelosi, faces an uphill battle to succeed her in representing California's 11th Congressional District.
A recent EMC Research poll of 500 registered San Francisco voters found that Christine Pelosi holds a favorability rating of just 21% among potential candidates. That places her far behind State Senator Scott Wiener, who leads with a commanding 61% favorability rating. The findings, reported by The San Francisco Standard and Metro Weekly, underscore how the race to replace Pelosi could mark a generational shift in San Francisco politics.
