Good News! Poll shows Democrats haven't learned their lesson - want to keep Pelosi in leadership position

The same split is evident in Pelosi's favorability ratings. Overall, 31 percent of voters view Pelosi favorably, compared with 46 percent who view her unfavorably. Her unfavorable rating is second-worst among political leaders tested in the poll; 48 percent of voters view President Donald Trump unfavorably. The partisan division is revealing: Pelosi has a 2-to-1 favorable-to-unfavorable rating among Democrats, 49 percent to 25 percent. But her ratings among Republicans (21 percent to 63 percent) and independents (20 percent to 52 percent) are far worse.

"...anyone who thinks Pelosi can be knocked out of leadership just doesn't know much about how House Democrats work -- and how strong Pelosi, still, is.

First, there is the fact that Pelosi has zero plans to leave. "I'm a master legislator, I'm experienced in terms of knowing institutional memory of the Congress," she said Monday on CBS' morning show. "If Hillary Clinton had won, I might have gone home. But with Donald Trump in the White House, with a Republican majority in both houses, no way. Then there is this: You don't beat something with nothing. For all the chatter about the need for Democrats to rethink their top leadership following the Ossoff loss, there's no one in their ranks who could come anywhere near winning a majority of Democratic caucus votes against Pelosi."
