Pelosi's Approval Rating Tops 50 Percent, Bests Bush's By 16 Points

[kskiska]

The details of the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey are beginning to trickle out, and like the USA Today/Gallup poll released today, it finds President Bush's approval rating in the mid-30s -- 34 for Gallup, 35 for ORC.

But more interestingly the poll, which is available in part from Hotline's Wakeup Call (and which I have independently confirmed), shows that 51 percent of Americans approve of the job being done by new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, compared with just 22 percent who disapprove. It's certainly true that these numbers can, at least in part, be chalked up to the positive coverage Pelosi received upon becoming the first female Speaker and the House Democrats' success in passing popular legislation in the opening hours of this Congress.
