Cheney and Pelosi Have Poor Ratings in Common

Pelosi’s ratings down, while Cheney’s improved from record low

by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Vice President ####### Cheney have little in common politically, but they receive almost identical image ratings from the American public. According to a May 29-31 Gallup Poll, 37% of Americans have a favorable view of Cheney and 34% have a favorable view of Pelosi. Both Cheney and Pelosi are viewed unfavorably by at least half of Americans.

The similarity between Cheney's and Pelosi's ratings is notable given that the two have emerged as the leading voices on either side of this year's debate over whether the government's use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" against terrorist suspects constitutes torture.

Cheney came out of his brief vice presidential retirement in March to publicly defend the Bush administration's support of CIA interrogation policies, and on May 21 went head-to-head with President Barack Obama on the issue in separate national security speeches. Pelosi has condemned "waterboarding" and earlier this year supported a call to investigate Bush administration officials who authorized it; however, she recently fell into a public battle with the CIA over whether she was previously briefed on the agency's use of the coercive technique.

Pelosi's current image rating is more negative than positive by a 16 percentage point margin: 34% favorable and 50% unfavorable. Six months ago about equal percentages held favorable and unfavorable views of her.

2012 will be Sarah Palin. Not Cheney. She will be our first female President.

I can't imagine why anyone would vote for such a dunce.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is recognized by about half of the public (49%).

69% are able to recall ####### Cheney.

More than nine in ten Americans (93%) could identify Arnold Schwarzenegger as the

California governor or a former action-movie star.

I doubt it. Palin got (unfairly) tarred and feathered for bringing about the failure of McCain's sh!tty campaign.

Harper 2012 is just barely-less plausible than Cheney 2012.

(note: Harper 2012 is impossible constitutionally, as Harper was born in Hogtown)

I doubt it - Cheney has an artificial heart powered by the yellowcake uranium they found in Iraq and which pumps liquid Sarin through his veins

She wouldn't be the first US president whose first campaign failed.
