In what could be another blow to the once-unassailable “Squad,” recent polling data indicates that Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) is teetering on the brink of losing her House seat, hot on the heels of Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) primary defeat last month.
A poll of likely Democratic primary voters, conducted by the Mellman Group on behalf of the Democratic Majority For Israel PAC, reveals St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell taking the lead over Bush by a margin of 48% to 42% in the race for Missouri’s 1st Congressional District.

The polling data, gathered by the Mellman Group from July 21-24, indicates a noticeable uptick for Bell compared to their June findings, where he held a slim 43%-42% lead over Bush.
Polling 400 voters within the district, the July poll boasts a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9%.

The mounting pressure on Bush, which has rendered her re-election bid precarious, largely stems from her contentious stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Known for her outspoken criticism of Israel, Bush has branded the Jewish State’s military actions against Hamas as “ethnic cleansing” and notably snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent Congressional address.
Anti-Israel sentiments have emerged as a pivotal issue fueling challenges against several Squad members, with Westchester County Executive George Latimer launching a spirited run against Bowman, accentuating the Congressman’s confrontational exchanges in Congress, including a heated altercation with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
