While she is no longer Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi still remains the most disliked leader in Congress, according to the latest favorability survey from Rasmussen Reports.
Overall, nearly two thirds of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of the House Minority leader, while just 28% of voters hold a positive view (according to Rasmussen "Pelosi’s unfavorable ratings have ranged from a low of 52% to a high of 64% since mid-February 2009")
And Pelosi isn't the only Democratic leader faring poorly among voters. Rassmusen's latest poll also reveals that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's popularity rating has fallen to its lowest level in over two years:
Reid now earns favorable marks from only 21% of voters, the lowest level measured since February 2009, with [50% of voters holding] an unfavorable opinion of him, [including] 35% who regard him "very unfavorably".
In comparison, Republican leaders' seemed to fare considerably better:
Pelosi's successor, current Speaker John Boehner, is viewed at least somewhat favorably by 37% and unfavorably by 39%. [And Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell’s favorables add up to 27%, [with 33% holding] an unfavorable assessment of the Kentucky Republican.
