House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's fellow Californians now give her negative marks for her job performance, with 44 percent disapproving of how she's doing compared to 34 percent who approve, according to a Field poll conducted Sept. 18 - Oct. 5. Twenty-two percent had no opinion.

Pelosi's numbers have gone back-and-forth over times. In March, Californians approved of her performance by 48 percent to 35 percent with 17 percent undecided, a turnabout from May when 39 percent voiced disapproval and 30 percent approved.

Democrats view her positivewly by 51 percent to 23 percent but given how much of a lightening rod Pelosi is for Republicans, it is not surprising they disapprove of her by an overwhelming 79 percent to 7 percent. Independents are about evenly split.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
