That's the news from a
new Field Poll:
Democrat Nancy Pelosi, who has represented San Francisco’s 8th Congressional District for eleven terms, became the nation’s first female Speaker of the House of Representatives in January 2007.
Voter assessments of her were initially much more positive than negative when she became Speaker, but became more divided in subsequent surveys conducted in mid-2007 and 2008. Earlier this year, following the election of Barack Obama as President, 48% viewed her favorably and 35% unfavorably.
The current poll finds that more Californians are now rating Pelosi more negatively than positively, with 34% approving and 44% disapproving of the job she is doing. The Speaker is still viewed positively by Democrats, 51% to 23%. However, California Republicans overwhelmingly see her in a negative light – 79% disapprove and 7% approve.
The problem is no matter how negative her numbers might be statewide she remains very popular in her wacky left San Francisco district. It would take a monumental wave of negativity to change that.

It would be nice to see Pelosi get knocked out of the house.
The woman is an idiot and a liar. It amazes me that she thinks she knows how health care should be run but does not pay any attention to the polls. I remember her after the tax and cap bill standing there flapping her arms saying "this is a jobs bill". OK -where are the jobs? With people like her it is no wonder CA is bankrupt.
