A new Gallup poll confirms what has been a general political consensus: Nancy Pelosi has not handled the controversy over interrogation/torture techniques very well.
The respondents were asked this question: “Do you approve or disapprove of how each of the following has handled the matter of interrogation techniques used against terrorism suspects?”
President Obama gets a 59% approval to 29% disapproval, consistent with his high favorability on pretty much any question. The CIA weighs in at a healthy 52%-31%. Congressional Democrats just manage to be in the black at 44%-40%, and the Congressional Republicans are behind at 40%-45%.
Nancy Pelosi, however, is at 31%-47%.
