(Washington, DC) -- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is rapidly losing popularity.

A telephone poll taken late last week shows 48-percent of Americans don't approve of how Pelosi is doing her job.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll comes as the California Democrat faces intense criticism over what she knew and when about government use of enhanced interrogation techniques.

Last week, Pelosi said in a news conference that the CIA lied to Congress in 2002 and 2003 about its use of interrogation methods like waterboarding on terror suspects.

Pelosi's new 39-percent approval rating makes her less popular than other congressional Democrats, who got 51-percent approval from respondents to the April CNN/ORC survey.

The rating also puts her at about the same approval level that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had in 1995 during his first year in that job.

If she doesn't resign, then she could be used to help nationalize the 2010 elections.

Only “nearly half?” Has the other half of Americans had lobotomies?

The other half must be lefties or idiots, but then I repeat myself. She should resign, it's an outrage...of course the GOP would have to call for that...instead they send perma-tan out to say, she should prove her accusation...or apologize. Milquetoast.

The results begs the premise: exactly what has this Political Sleestak done that has earned any approval (other than bashing non-Dhimmicrats)?

Poor Nancy. For reasons unknown, it appears that the MSM is willing to actually report on her rambling inconsistencies and hypocritial accusations. It’s what happens when a Democrats behavior is not routinely ignored or covered up.

Hey Nancy...how’s that truth commission thing working out?

Gee, how will you be getting home when you lose the big jet?

I hope the pounding continues nonstop.

I think it would be a hoot to start a guessing game as to how soon she'll be booted-out.

My guess? By July 4, 2009. It's called Karma; it's called the Dims taking responsibility.

Bu-Bye, Pelosi. It's not been nice havin' ya as Speaker.

At least 48-percent of Americans are too ignorant to even know who she is.
