House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has quite the reputation on Capitol Hill.
In a recent Gallup poll, Pelosi proved to be the most well-known leader in Congress — and the least liked.
The poll placed Pelosi alongside three other Congressional leaders: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Compared to the other top dogs, Pelosi proved to be the most infamous leader on the Hill. Only 11 percent of those polled hadn’t heard of the House Minority Leader. By contrast, 22 percent of those polled had never heard of McConnell, 21 percent hadn’t heard of Reid and 14 percent had never heard of Boehner.
But Pelosi’s fame isn’t exactly a positive. Forty-eight percent of Americans view Pelosi unfavorably compared to the 31 percent of Americans who view her favorably. Only 10 percent had no opinion of her.
But Americans’ negative views on Pelosi are nothing new. She has received net-negative favorability reviews since 2009, spiking in 2010, right before the Republicans won the House back and the California Democrat was knocked out of her role as Speaker.
Can’t win ’em all, Pelosi.
