Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's favorable rating is down seven percentage points since May to 29%, a new low for her since assuming the top congressional post.
Pelosi's ratings were 2-to-1 positive, 44% to 22%, when she first assumed the speakership in January 2007, but they became closely divided by March of that year and remained so in November 2008. Views became more negative than positive for the first time in the first half of 2009, possibly because of Pelosi's public stance against the CIA's use of "enhanced interrogation" of terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay prison, and her dispute with the CIA over whether she had been briefed on the matter. Spanning the period these issues were in the news, her favorable rating fell from 42% to 32%. Pelosi's favorable rating recovered slightly in the first half of 2010 to 36%, but it has since tumbled to the new low.
Independents in particular have become more negative about Pelosi, with her favorability dwindling nine points among this group since May, to 21%. Nearly 6 in 10 independents (58%) now view her unfavorably, compared with 86% of Republicans and 22% of Democrats.

Wow. Who are these 29% and what are they smoking?
Too bad that’s not the approval rate in her District of Debauchery... but it isn’t, unfortunately.
It sure is a b*tch when people pay attention, is it not?
It will be a happy day in America when you are no longer able to additional damage to this great country.
Good riddance.
Still way too high
Too high by half. But lower than Bush at his lowest IIRC.
I suppose there really is no hope for a certain segment.
a new low for her
s/b
a new low, even for her
;’)
Thanks Justaham.
The focus to get rid of this treasonous corrupt b-word must be on the Senate races — dump your local Demwit, and get rid of the Left-Coast’s contribution to the War on America, Pelousy.
That's about the most anti-American thing I've ever heard from a Speaker - ever. And the stooges who did vote for it without reading it (much less understanding it) deserve nothing less than an orange jumpsuit. This alone call for the complete overhaul of the Congress.
>>Who are these 29% and what are they smoking?
>>Whatever it is, you can be sure it’s funded by the taxpayer.
Now we know why they want to legalize marijuana in Pelosi’s home state. Nothing to do with civil rights. Democrats just need drugged-out voters.
If the numbers are to be believed, what is it about this woman that 29% like? I just don’t get it.
Whoops, I meant the House.
Not that we shouldn’t be dumping Reid — we’ve got that covered from two sides I think.
I would venture many are female who are totally ignorant of politics, but figure that if a woman is in a position of high power, it's a good thing. Of course, those same women "can't STAND Sarah Palin", but they won't be able to tell you why.
