According to this story, Nancy Pelosi better see about trying to bribe more voters or something. It seems more people are seeing the Democrats for the ineffectual little pathetic whiners they are, who can name post offices but do little else. They promise the world and deliver nothing. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's own party is turning on her, apparently because of a perception among California Democrats that she has not done enough to shake up the status quo in Washington, D.C., according to a Field Poll released Friday.
Congress overall is doing even worse with California voters, with an approval rating sagging to 30 percent or below for only the seventh time in the past 15 years, the poll of 1,201 registered voters found. Both Pelosi, the San Francisco Democrat who became speaker this year, and Congress as a whole have fallen short of voter expectations since taking over both houses, poll director Mark DiCamillo said.
"I think the reason for her decline and the low ratings Congress is getting is that voters here are not seeing any change," DiCamillo said.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein's approval rating of 51 percent is down 10 percentage points since March, but consistent with her average over the years. Sen. Barbara Boxer's rating also has slumped, from 54 percent in March to 44 percent. Both Boxer and Feinstein, however, still enjoy the approval of more voters than disapproval of them.
For Pelosi, it was the first time the poll showed more people disapproving than approving of her performance – 40 percent to 35 percent, with 25 percent having no opinion.
Other polls since 2003 have shown larger numbers of voters with no opinion, but Pelosi always won more approval than disapproval. As recently as March, California Democrats approved of Pelosi by a 5-to-1 ratio, DiCamillo said. Now it's less than 2-to-1. Nonpartisan voters also have soured on her.
Only 22 percent of voters approve of the job Congress is doing, the poll found, while 64 percent disapprove.
Hey, I know....Let's smear Rush Limbaugh again....nope, that didn't work. Wait, I've got it....Let's trash our soldiers and say they are torturers and Nazis....Damn, that didn't work either....I'VE GOT IT...Let's create a bill that seeks to create a welfare state on insurance, delay talking about it for political points, and take a risk that real poor children may lose their healthcare because we want to expand socialism...that surely will get those approval ratings up, right Nancy? Wait, let's name some post offices...that is showing we are getting things done, right?
Better head back to the surgeon, Nancy...appears its time for a new face again.
