More than half (54%) of Americans approve of the job Nancy Pelosi is doing

Most popular speaker in decades

ABC News/Washington Post Poll. Jan. 16-19, 2007. Adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?

Approve 33
Disapprove 65

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Nancy Pelosi is handling her job as speaker of the House?

Approve 54
Disapprove 25



So are you with the majority of Americans, or are you with the small minority of 25% who disapprove?

Undecided, even if it all went negative it'd still be better a lot better than anything Newt ever got or other speakers in the past few decades

How can anyone disapprove or approve of someone after only 2 weeks.

I would be VERY surprised if 50% knew who Nancy Pelosi is and what she looks like

I disapprove of much of the current and just recent GOP leadership.

Yeah, NOW it's been almost 3 weeks. I doubt the poll was taken this morning.

Compared to Bush and what the Republicans have done the last few years, a monkey would have a high approval rating as well.

It's not that Americans approve or disapprove of Pelosi per say - it's that Americans in general were fed up with what we had and would have been happy with anything.

I see, those stupid Americans who can't even respond "it's too early/DK"

So, when are we allowed to value Pelosi's approval ratings? Next week, next month? 3 weeks 5 days 11 hours 40 minutes and 29 seconds?

What are you trying to prove here?


Wow, Bush had skyrocket approval ratings after 9/11. Now look at them. Approval ratings can go way up and way down. Let's evaluate her again in a few months, after they've had a chance to do something and see where she stands then.

So you're comparing the country uniting against terrorism to Pelosi's "100 hours"



BTW keep pretending that she didn't do something by passing 6 major bills...she did more in two weeks than the GOP House did in all of 2006

How about when they've done more than 'propose' things and criticized Bush?

You're right! She did more in two weeks than the House did in an entire year!
