Photo Credit: APBy Alex Pappas. Sixty percent of Republican voters would prefer that John Boehner not be elected speaker of the House next week, according to a new poll moving around conservative circles Friday.

The poll — conducted by Caddell Associates and commissioned by the People’s Poll — shows just 25 percent of Republicans supporting Boehner’s re-election in the formal vote on the House floor.

The official speaker’s election is set for Jan. 6, when the House will convene for a public floor vote to open the new Congress. (Read more on why voters want John Boehner replaced HERE)
