As 2/3 of Americans hold a favorable view of her, 1/3 are suffering a form of buyer’s remorse, saying the U.S. would be better off now if she had become president in 2008 instead of Barack Obama. A similar question was asked in 2010, in a Bloomberg poll, and only 1/4 of the people had such views.
Pelosi talks of GOP Anti Worker Agenda and Takes a Shot at Romney
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Monday was scheduled to give a speech at the United Steelworkers Convention in Las Vegas on Monday, but it turned out to be more of a stump speech for President Obama.
