Dick Cheney More Popular Than Nancy Pelosi

June 5, 2009 by GayPatriotWest

While technically, their favorables are statitiscally indistinguishable, i current trendlines continue, Nancy Pelosi’s favorables will slip below those of Geoge W. Bush at the nadir of his popularity.  They’ve been in constant decline since the beginning of the Obama Administration while the former Vice President’s have spiked upwards.

Current 34% of Americans view the Democratic House Speaker favorably while 37% view the Republican former Vice President favorably.

No wonder Jim Geraghty is reporting that House Republicans Concur Pelosi Should Hit the Campaign Trail.

UPDATE:  Greg Sargent explains:

The Gallup poll finds that two of the leading officials on either side of the torture argument — Cheney and Nancy Pelosi — have equally poor favorability ratings. But here’s the key point: They are at parity because Cheney’s ratings have gone up and Pelosi’s have dropped during the period that both were heavily identified with the torture issue. . . .

Top Dems (Obama aside) have taken Cheney about as seriously as a circus sideshow, chortling about his low approval ratings while rarely rebutting his actual arguments. Result: His claims have continually gone largely unchallenged, and he’s largely framed the debate. My bet is that this helps explain why Cheney seems to be rising in the polls and Pelosi is sinking: Dems have given Cheney an opening, and Cheney took it.

    DID YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE FLYING MICHELLE AND HER GIRLS SEPARATELY TO EUROPE AND THAT PLANE WILL FLY BACK EMPTY.

    CAN WE ADD THIS TO THE CARBON OBAMA FOOTPRINT?

    That’s because Nancy Pelosi is the worst Speaker of the House this country has ever had.

    I just figure if I repeat that enough, people will start to believe it.

    Perhaps Pelosi could close that 3 point gap if she had her own assassination squad!

    #7 – Given her poll numbers, CM, I wouldn’t be surprised if her death squad turned their own guns at HER.

    Did I read that Pelosi has hired Cindy Sheehan as her PR person? Or was it Charles Manson, I get those two mixed up.
