Pelosi, Reid Most Unfavorable in Congress

Rasmussen has a recent poll that gives Pelosi a 45% Very Unfavorable. POTUS golf partner Boehner has an 18% Very Unfavorable and much higher favorable numbers vis-a-vis Pelosi, who is the MOST UNPOPULAR SPEAKER in poll terms in US history.

Sen. Harry Reid of NV has his numbers very low:
Reid now earns favorable marks from only 21% of voters, the lowest level measured since February 2009. Fifty percent (50%) have an unfavorable opinion of him. These findings include five percent (5%) who see the Nevada Democrat Very Favorably and 35% who regard him Very Unfavorably. But 29% have no opinion of the longtime legislator.
Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, remains the least-known top congressional leader, with 40% who express no opinion of him. McConnell’s favorables add up to 27%, including just five percent with a Very Favorable view of him. Thirty-three percent (33%) share an unfavorable assessment of the Kentucky Republican, with 15% Very Unfavorable.
Voters not affiliated with either of the major parties remain slightly more critical of the Democratic leaders than of those who head the GOP in Congress.

Note that Independents, the single most important election variable, favor GOP members in Congress. Rasmussen is more dependable as a polling source because it polls only likely voters, even more dependable than "registered" voters as a source of political data.
