Liberal bloggers may have given House Speaker Nancy Pelosi more than 2,600 roses for her 70th birthday, but, in comparison, the general public continues to be less enthusiastic about her. In a recent Gallup poll, views of the California representative have not fundamentally changed since her health care victory, though both her favorable and unfavorable ratings have moved up, which demonstrates that more Americans now have an opinion of her.
32 – percentage of Americans who viewed Nancy Pelosi favorably in July 2009
36 – percentage of Americans who viewed Nancy Pelosi favorably in March 2010
48 – percentage of Americans who viewed Nancy Pelosi unfavorably in July 2009
54 – percentage of Americans who viewed Nancy Pelosi unfavorably in March 2010
