Opposing Trump is making Nancy Pelosi more popular
By Michael Tesler January 15 at 6:00 AM
The shutdown has begun to take its toll on President Trump’s poll numbers. The president’s approval rating in Rasmussen’s Daily Tracking Poll fell to its lowest level in nearly a year on Monday.
Nate Silver also noted the shutdown’s adverse effects on Trump’s approval rating. As he tweeted this past weekend:
Yet while Trump’s numbers are falling, Nancy Pelosi’s are rising. The first graph below shows that Pelosi’s favorability rating has increased by eight percentage points since Election Day in Civiqs’s tracking polls.
The next display shows a similar surge in Nancy Pelosi’s Gallup rating. Pelosi is now more popular in Gallup polls than she has been in a decade.
Pelosi’s growing popularity, combined with both Trump’s declining approval rating and a series of recent polls showing Americans blame the president more than congressional Democrats for the shutdown, suggests that there is little incentive for Democrats to compromise with the White House to reopen the government.
