- 10% said somewhat unfavorable.
- 50% said very unfavorable.
- 3% said they were unsure.
More than half also said that it would be "good" for the country if Pelosi stepped down as House speaker.

- 21% said bad.

Pulse Opinion Research, LLC polled 1,000 adults on behalf of Rasmussen across the U.S. from February 21-22, 2022 with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
Pelosi is expected to easily win the Democratic primary in her district despite recent redistricting, but she did pledge previously to step down as House speaker if Democrats retained control of the Lower Chamber in the upcoming midterm elections.
