With less than six weeks to go until Election Day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains the most unpopular of the four top congressional leaders as she has been since this session of Congress began early last year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a close second.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters have an unfavorable opinion of Pelosi, including 47% who view the San Francisco Democrat Very Unfavorably. Thirty-four percent (34%) regard Pelosi favorably, with 12% Very Favorable toward her. Only seven percent (7%) have no opinion of the speaker.
Since February of last year, Pelosi’s favorables have ranged from a low of 28% to a high of 43% in April just after passage of the national health care bill. Her unfavorables have run from 52% to 64%.
Reid, who is struggling for reelection in Nevada, is seen favorably by 30% and unfavorably by 50%. This includes Very Favorables of six percent (6%) and Very Unfavorables of 33%.- Read more
When Nancy Pelosi came to power, she promised that the Democrats will have "most honest and most ethical congress in history."
Blog author's comments - Nancy Pelosi: Your approval rating, according to the Rasmussen poll, does not surprise me. Anyone who has followed your career, especially during the last four years, should understand why your rating is so low. You should not be a member of Congress.
The midterms don't look so good for your fellow Democrats. I have heard the party leadership has determined that this is just a simple problem of those running for office mis-communicating with the voters. The leadership has concluded that faulty messaging is the problem. They believe that just a few simple changes in the candidates message is all that is needed.
Here are their simple tips for re-election:
1. Avoid talking about your legislative accomplishments.
2. Avoid talking about party leadership.
3. It’s about the minority (other) party, not about you.
4. Winning Message : No matter how bad things are, things could always be worse.
5. Winning Message : The best things always cost more (make Health Reform a winner).
6. Winning Message : Tax cuts for the rich hurts you.
7. Winning Message : Bush never really left office, he is still running things.
8. A timeless winner for every election: Accuse the other party of racism.
Nancy Pelosi, I really hope to see you pass your gavel to a member of the Republican Party in January.
