Pelosi's negatives hit all-time high; as unpopular as BP

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's negative ratings have hit an all-time high in the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. A full 50 percent of those surveyed have a somewhat or very negative impression of Pelosi, while just 22 percent have a somewhat or very positive impression of her.

Pelosi's negative rating is precisely the same as oil giant BP, which has taken a public relations beating in the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill. While 50 percent of those surveyed view BP negatively, just 12 percent view the company favorably -- a rating even lower than Pelosi's.

Lower than the oil in the gulf.

Does not matter - people dislike them only enough to re-elect them.

[WAW]

She is the anti-matter spawn of the Dem party.

[J Edgar]

How’s her re-election bid going - did the GOP even bother to challenge her? Just asking.

>> How’s her re-election bid going - did the GOP even bother to challenge her?

The country at large may hate Nan-nan, but Than Franthithco loveth her.

She’ll be re-elected handily.

[Senator Goldwater]

Pelosi’s spills have been more difficult to clean up than BP’s.

[SMARTY]

Why do people who write surveys and people who take and interpret survey data arbitrarily assume a correlation between popularity and competence?

Why isn't the survey written with the object of measuring respondents’ assessment of politicians’ competence?

Government is NOT ‘Dancing with the Stars’ or the Miss America pageant!

[crosshairs]

At least BP’s situation was an accident (barring sabatoge by the tree huggers). Pelosi is an evil POS by nature.

The Pelosians are liked about as much as a Borg is on Star Trek..............

there’s a guy named John Dennis challenging her on R. ticket

I’m having trouble find much info of value on that race

Apparently he recently released an online ad depicting Pelosi as the “Wicked Witch of the West” but I can’t seem to find it — pulled from YouTube due to copyright complaint??? Must be due to material used from the original “Wizard of Oz” movie??

[J Edgar]

Thanks for the information.

re: “info”

I meant that I was trying to find good articles written about the race, and so far it’s slim pickings.

But there’s a lot of good info on the John Dennis site, and it says that he has raised more than $1.7 million so far, which should at least help him to compete, so long as he’s creative and doesn’t squander it all in the pricey San Francisco media market.

I liked this line (from the article):

Although Mrs. Hallinan held `socialist' views--ideas that people should be guaranteed a decent living, that there should be racial equality and an end to war--she never joined any socialist or communist party and was a life-long Democrat, said Patrick Hallinan.

[Savage Beast]

Do you mean to tell me that 22% have a positive opinion of Nancy Pelosi?????

[oyez]

In order to get reelected, all Pilosi has to do is talk about how Republicans will end food stamps, public assistance, welfare, Medicare and Social Security

[MrB]

she never joined any socialist or communist party and was a life-long Democrat

self contradictory statement, to be sure...

[Bullish]

Pelosi’s actually done far more damage to the country then the gulf oil spill.
