Congressional Favorability Ratings

Favorables For Pelosi, Reid and Boehner Fall Again

Rasmussen Reports

After receiving a small boost in ratings from their party’s voters last month following the passage of the national health care law, Democratic leaders in Congress now earn favorability marks more in line with those found in previous months.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows just 35% now share a favorable opinion of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, down eight points from April. Fifty-seven percent (57%) view the San Francisco Democrat unfavorably, up from 52% last month. The new findings include 14% with a Very Favorable opinion and 48% with a Very Unfavorable one.

Despite this month’s drop, ratings for Pelosi are still higher than they were in March and are identical to those found in January. In March, prior to passage of the health plan, Pelosi was viewed unfavorably by 64% of voters, which tied a high reached last August.

The number of Democrats who view Pelosi favorably fell from 78% to 65% this month.

Twenty-five percent (25%) of all voters view Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid favorably, down slightly from 29% a month ago. Fifty-three percent (53%) view the Nevada Democrat unfavorably, showing virtually no change this month.

Less than half (47%) of Democrats view Reid favorably, down from 51% last month.

Reid’s support remains frozen again this month around 40%, while two of his chief Republican opponents continue to draw over 50% of the vote in Nevada’s U.S. Senate race.
