Pelosi hits highest favorability rating in CNN poll since 2007
Source: The Hill
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has seen her favorability surge to its highest levels in more than a decade, according to a new CNN poll.
The poll released Monday found Pelosis favorability rating jumped 8 points since December as the 35-day partial government shutdown dragged on.
The poll shows that 42 percent of respondents found Pelosi to be favorable while 47 percent see her unfavorably, still giving the new Speaker and top foil to President Trump her highest rating on the question of her favorability in CNN polling since April 2007.
The poll was conducted from Jan. 30-Feb. 2 and surveyed 1,011 adults by phone or live interviewer.
Pelosis uptick in favorability was carried by a 22-point increase among self-identified liberal Democrats, where she holds a 87 percent favorability rating.

The media acts like it never happened.

(34,857 posts)Hillary only became unpopular when she was a candidate again.
But from the moment Obama wrapped up the nomination in 2008, to roughly 2013 or so, she was untouchable and often used as a means by the MSM to divide Democrats. Remember all the stories floated in Obama's first term about her A) either primaring him or B) Obama dropping Biden for her - since that was the only way he'd be able to win in 2012?
There were a lot of stories in Obama's first term about how Hillary would have done a far better job and that the Democrats screwed the pooch by nominating him. Then when he won reelection, she was of no use to the MSM anymore and they started attacking her knowing she was the next viable Democratic candidate in 2016 - hell, not just the MSM but Republicans too.
How many Republicans talked Hillary up throughout Obama's presidency to weaken him?
Then Obama's term started winding down and the two flipped - Obama had the better approval and was used as a way to divide.
Hillary needed Obama ... just like Obama needed Hillary in 2008 and 2012.
It's wild how the narrative shifted so fast.

(11,885 posts)And is why he's trying to accuse her and say bad things about her now, and all of what he's done and is doing. His accusations are meaning less and less every time he uses them on others. She's kicking his ass good and he's upset , so expect a big wild claim she's corrupt, and others close to her are corrupt by trump. He uses that tactic against others often. He'll also probably announce more meetings with putin soon as he's getting more desperate for help from him, and prove putins giving him his orders.

(34,661 posts)again I question any polling being done in the last 25 months. Trump operatives have successfully skewed polling data. When the story of Cohen contacting Polling Operatives and making threats about Trump's numbers,well,enough said.

(7,113 posts)Real Clear Politics lists several recent polls taken of McConnell's favorability, but they are a week or two older than the CNN poll of Pelosi's favorability.
Mitch averages a very sad 23.8 percent favorability.
