Poll: Only 34 percent of Californians approve of Pelosi's performance
2009-10-20
A poll released over the weekend shows that only 34 percent of Californians approve of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) job performance, down 14 points from March.
Only the opinions of the voters in her district matter, just as the world does not get a say in who becomes president of the United States. Se we're stuck with Representative Pelosi until her voters decide to throw her out. We do have a shot at getting her out of the Speaker's office in 2010, though.
The study, conducted by the Field Research Corportation, also showed that 44 percent of respondents disapproved of her job performance while 22 percent held no opinion. In the organization's last poll in March, 48 percent of respondents approved of Pelosi's job performance while 35 percent disapproved.

Democrats approved of Pelosi's performance as leader by a count of 51-23, with 26 percent expressing no opinion. Republicans overwhelmingly disapproved of her performance: 7 percent approved, 79 percent disapproved and 14 percent said they held no opinion.

39 percent of "non-partisans" approved of her while 37 percent disapproved, with 24 percent responding that they had no opinion.

Pelosi's job approval had sunk to similar lows in October and December 2007 during President George W. Bush's second term.

#5  They decided that smoking pot was more important than fiscal freedom, so it'll probably soon be the only freedom left to them.

That is, until the revolution is complete. Then they will have outlived their usefulness and they will all be shot.

Doubtful. Long shot at best, but yeah, probably no shot at all.

#2  Only the opinions of the voters in her district matter,..

Not exactly, as she holds the Speaker post as long as she has support within her caucus. If enough of the other representatives perceive she's more of a danger remaining in that post, she'll be gone as fast as Tom Delay. That's why Nancy keeps her gang of wannabe ward healers like Rangel in their chairs, so she can keep hers. As things deteriorate further in 2010, her life will become even more interesting.
