The vast majority of voters in a new poll of embattled New York Republican Rep. George Santos' district want the congressman to resign amid the litany of scandals and revelations he misled voters about his biography.

Seventy-eight percent of voters in the state's 3rd Congressional district want Santos' resignation (including 89% of Democrats, 72% of independents/others and 71% of Republicans), compared to just 13% who do not want him to step down, according to the latest Newsday/Siena College poll.

Santos is viewed unfavorably by 83% of the voters in the district, according to the poll, a view again shared by the majority of people across partisan stripes (just 7% view him favorably).

Sixty-three percent of Santos voters say they wouldn't have voted for him if they knew what they know now, while 31% say they still would have voted for him.

“NY 3 voters overwhelmingly and unambiguously say Rep. Santos should resign. ..........................

1. If he had any integrity or shame, he would resign. Republicans have neither.

[Major Nikon]

3. He won't resign unless he's facing forcible removal

What is he going to do if he resigns? He won't have any job or means of support. At least now he has a 6 figure salary with benefits for the next two years.

The fun part is he will be a poster boy for everything that's wrong with the GQP and there's not much they can do about it.

[Zorro]

7. He's drawing a nice paycheck for doing nothing but supporting McCarthy's positions

So yeah, I don't see him resigning.

[Danmel]

2. Who are the 22% who want him to stay?

[SouthernDem4ever]

13. All the Fux Nooze viewers in that district

I would guess.

[ananda]

4. This is so odd and surreal because he's like a scapegoat...

for Reeps far worse than he is.

[barbtries]

5. he'll apparently have to be prosecuted for that to happen.

republicans have no ethics no morals no sense of right and wrong. i'm surprised he recused himself from his committee assignments- and wonder whether that was him doing the right thing or the republicans threatening him if he didn't - but i mean they put him on the committees!

my head hurts. i hate republicans

[SouthernDem4ever]

14. that reminds me

[barbtries]

16. you're right.

trace it all the way back to nixon and i STILL say that if he had faced the consequences, been prosecuted for his crimes as any other citizen would be, we wouldn't be here.

we really kinda lost the "a nation of laws and not men" part a long long time ago. now we're a nation of trump and idiocy. losing our democracy.

[Cha]

6. TY & Hakeem Jeffries!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

8. Why should he resign? He can do nothing for two years and collect good pay.

I doubt he'll run for reelection.

[eggplant]

10. He could run and try to collect on the grift, but I doubt it would work for him.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

21. If he can, I'll be amazed. I think his fifteen minutes are done.

Even his entertainment value is fading. He's so low, I doubt if Fox would hire him.

[dembotoz]

9. he will milk this cow as long as he can I expect him to run out the clock

what does he have to lose?

[groundloop]

11. What are the chances of a Democrat taking his seat if he's forced out?

[maxsolomon]

12. Would there be a special election?

then they're pretty good - especially if the outgoing congressman, Suozzi, runs for the seat.

Richest district in NY State, full of gullible fools.

[republianmushroom]

15. Seems to be a little late to be rethinking how they voted or didn't vote

[mwb970]

17. Wow. 7% approval rating.

That's pretty bad. And who are the 7% who "approve" of his behavior?

[niyad]

19. The ones who wish they had thought of it first?

[niyad]

18. I would like him to resign from the human race.

[Ford_Prefect]

20. I read somewhere they are looking for people to ride the 1st rocket to mars...

Some have said that is a one way trip.
