We Like Her, We REALLY Like Her

Well, at least 50% of us.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to maintain solid job approval ratings throughout the nation, with 50 percent of adults approving of her performance in her first weeks of wielding the gavel.

According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, Pelosi’s disapproval rating for her job performance is 31 percent, suggesting that Republican efforts at muddying the San Francisco Democrat’s image have not been successful.

The rating places Pelosi in a much stronger political position than the last time the House flipped control. Twelve years ago, Republican Newt Gingrich of Georgia became speaker and instantly became a public lightning rod.

According to a Jan. 29, 1995 Post-ABC poll, Gingrich’s approval rating was 40 percent while 48 percent of adults disapproved of his job performance four weeks into his tenure as speaker.

She’s got a better approval rating than Congress!

Will she run for President too?! haha
