House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s popularity has fallen to a new low for the year, with 60 percent of likely voters now viewing her unfavorably according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Friday.
Even worse news for the California Democrat: A whopping 42 percent characterize her job performance as “very unfavorable.”
The trend looks bad for Pelosi as well. Just two weeks ago, 53 percent of those surveyed viewed Pelosi somewhat or very unfavorably, and her “very unfavorable” rating was 36 percent. A 7 point favorability decline in two weeks suggests Pelosi’s popularity is in a serious tailspin.
Despite this week’s rally on Wall Street, pundits say Democrats are taking it on the chin over the bad economy and the fallout over AIG bonuses.
“Congress is feeling voter anger over executive bonuses paid by AIG after it received a massive taxpayer bailout,” the Rasmussen organization reports in its analysis of the results.
Several other findings suggest voters’ patience with Democrats’ handling of the economy could be wearing thin:
# Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid is also suffering from weak poll numbers. Of the 1,000 likely voters Rasmussen polled March 24 and 25, some 45 percent rated Reid unfavorably, compared to 23 percent who gave him a favorable assessment.
# Even among Democrats, the popularity of both Reid and Pelosi is sinking. A growing number of Democrats are now critical of their performance.
# In the past two weeks, Pelosi’s favorability among Democrats has dropped from 65 percent to 57 percent.
# Reid’s favorable rating among Democrats has also taken a serious dip, from 51 percent two weeks ago to 43 percent in the survey released Friday.

It had someplace it could fall to? I thought it was already a negative number.
When is Reid up for re-election? In 2010? I think he would be ripe for picking. Vegas is in pain and unemployment is up.
Is there another Newt Gingrich Plan in the works?
This Adminstration/Congress is an opportunity that hasn’t been presented to conservatives for decades, maybe ever.
Here’s hoping someone besides Rush can see it.
Pelosi is the worst Speaker in our lifetime, quite an accomplishment since the corrupt and lousy Jim Wright is in that mixed bag.
Are these poll numbers national or from her constituency. She is from an extremely left district who will likely vote for her even if she is caught taking a bribe on video.
A direct inverse relationship between truth and popularity exists.
The more truth is known about these rascals, the less popular any Democrat or Democrats-posing-as-Republicans.
They are truly damned good liars and propagandists.
Repent, Nancy. If you’re Catholic at all you’ve heard of Hell, Ma’am.

In other news, Pelosi will be re elected by a landslide.
Exactly! There just has to be terrific people in her constituency; obviously they are horribly outnumbered by the wicked, the easily-manipulated and the illegal.
Can you imagine what these numbers would be if the MSM actually reported the things that she does or proposes???
fairy grandmother implodes; grandchildren don’t give a sh!#. and some enjoy it.
According to Fox tonight, there IS a republican budget proposal in the works.
In other news, Pelosi will be re elected by a landslide mudslide.
Or getting $4,000 from Spitzer, LOL. She’s screwing the American people so Spitzer wouldn’t be such a bad deal AND she’d get paid for it.
You can go straight to your room!
?? You’ll have to explain the joke to me.
I'm glad you caught on I was joking!
Nancy Bologna is an eco-terrorist. All the plastic on her face and body for just 75 years will be forever in a landfill. Shame on her. She should switch her plastic bags for good republican cloth bags. ROTFLAMOJ!
