Poll: Nancy Pelosi's Favorability Plummeted During the Shutdown

I was wrong about Nancy Pelosi winning the shutdown, I guess. Although Trump lost support, it looks like Nancy Pelosi lost support as well.

I'm not sure this would have mattered to her, but I did not know this, and cannot pretend that I knew this but had some strong reasoning to dismiss it as unimportant.

I made a mistake: I listened to Fox News liberal Democrat Chris Stirewalt.

Not only that, this particular poll says that Trump only lost 3 points of support (but also gained two points of "strong" support -- he lost overall support, but 2 percent of his supporters moved to the "strong" support category).

A new poll by NBC News/Wall Street Journal shows a plummeting approval rate for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi’s approval rate dropped by six points during the 35-day government shutdown, as 47 percent of Americans surveyed rated Pelosi as "very negative," while only 28 percent rated her favorably.

President Donald Trump's ratings remain relatively unchanged, with 43 percent of Americans approving of his job performance and and 54 percent disapproving. Trump's rating is down only 3 percent since November, according to the Wall Street Journal. His 43 percent approval rating is the same as it was in December, 10 days before the start of the government shutdown.

The number of those who "strongly approve" of the job Trump is doing increased to 29 percent, up two percent from December. Trump’s overall disapproval rating was recorded at 54 percent. The four-day long poll ended on Jan. 23.
