Forty-three percent (43%) of Americans have a favorable opinion concerning the nation's new Speaker of the House. The first woman to serve in that role, Nancy Pelosi (D) earns favorable reviews from 45% of women and 41% of men. A Rasmussen Reports survey of 800 Likely Voters found that, overall, 39% have an unfavorable opinion of the Speaker.

Those numbers reflect a significant improvement for Pelosi since November. At that time, just 24% had a favorably opinion of her while 40% held an unfavorable view.

Sixty-six percent (66%) of Democrats have a favorable opinion of Pelosi. Sixteen percent (16%) have an unfavorable opinion while 18% are not sure.

Among Republicans, just 17% have a favorable person of the woman in charge of the people's House. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 41% offer a favorable assessment.

And she believes in abortion on demand, a staunch supporter of gay marriage, wants to raise our taxes in every opportunity she has, wants to create as large number of people who are on welfare and hence get their votes, etc…. and all the destructive ideas of being a left wing liberal from the San Francisco.

I caught the "highlights" of Her Majesty's maiden speech on the news last night. I'd note that she has an irritating habit of pointing and shaking her index finger as if she's scolding schoolchildren instead of addressing a free and sovereign people. I suspect she will not wear well.

the only good things that come from there are the Ravens

The Ravens didn't come from Baltimore. They were stolen from Cleveland.

...my first thought as well. 43% is nothing to crow about.

Sorry I forgot that she wants us defeated in Iraq by cutting and running from there, she wants to give a bill of right to the terrorists, and she hates President Bush and Republicans more than she hates the terrorists.

Her ratings will drop and the MSM and liberals will blame it on anti-female bias.

They act like it's a good number, but when Bush has that number, he's an abyssmal failure according to the MSM.

Most of my liberal friends and relatives (including my parents) feel that she is not Leftist enough.

Proof that most "liberals" are really Marxists.

I guarantee you that she will not wear well. During the last 4 weeks of the 2006 campaign she went into hiding with all the democrat leadership so voters will not see how radically left wing liberal she and her democrat colleagues are. Now she has nowhere to run, people will see her and she will be destroyed.

They were never the Browns in Baltimore. They are a whole new organization. At least Art Modell had the class to leave the Browns name, logo and history with the city of Clevelan and also voted favorably and lobbied for the NFL to expand back to Cleveland. Cleveland did not have to wait for 12 years. The Browns have a rich history like the Colts. The Irsay family has no such sensitivity.

A percentage of us think she's pus oozing out of a festering, malignant wound.
Count me as one of those.
