At Gallup, "Views of Pelosi Not Fundamentally Changed After Health Vote" (via):
Americans' views of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are not fundamentally changed after the passage of healthcare reform. Though more Americans now have an opinion of her, both her favorable and her unfavorable ratings are up from the last reading, to 36% and 54%, respectively.
The currently net-negative view of Pelosi from the March 26-28 USA Today/Gallup poll stands in stark contrast to opinions of her as she became speaker of the House in January 2007. At that time, twice as many Americans viewed her favorably (44%) as unfavorably (22%).
Opinions of Pelosi grew more negative over the course of her first two years as speaker, such that about as many Americans viewed her favorably as unfavorably. During the last year, Americans' views have become much more negative than positive.
I'd like to say something positive concerning Madame Speaker: her record positively sucks.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion of her has not changed...I disliked her prior to the healthcare vote.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if part of the decline of postitive opinion is due to the fact that more people have taken more of an active interest in policies that effect them.
