Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's approval rating has jumped
substantially from the level it was at before the November election,
according to a recent survey.

"The Nov. 9-12 USA Today/Gallup poll clearly shows that incoming House
Speaker Pelosi's profile has been raised after the elections," says a
report from Gallup News Service. "Thirty-eight percent of Americans
say they have a favorable opinion of her, while 24%% have an
unfavorable view and 38%% are not familiar enough with her to give an
opinion."

Before the election, Pelosi scored a relatively meager 26 percent.
"Now," Gallups exclaims, "her favorable rating outnumbers her
unfavorable rating by 14 percentage points." Additionally, Pelosi now
outscores incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who registered a
27 percent positive view among those surveyed. Reid does, however,
enjoy a higher positive (27 percent) than negative (19 percent) score,
according to the poll.

Gallup News Service notes that the results of the survey "are based on
telephone interviews with a randomly selected national sample of 1,004
adults, aged 18 and older, conducted Nov. 9-12, 2006." Full data is
viewable here.
