Coup?
Blue Crab Boulevard —
... and then tries to put them out. Speculation rises that the leader’s colleagues are thinking about mounting a challenge. Nancy Pelosi in 2009? Or Newt Gingrich in 1998? Or Trent Lott in 2002? While it is awfully early to be predicting that House Speaker Pelosi (D-Calif.) will face a leadership challenge because of her handling of “torture-gate,” conditions are starting to gel for the good old-fashioned congressional coup. Here are five factors that ultimately lead to a coup: Next CNN : Nearly half of all Americans - 48 percent - disapprove of how the California Democrat she is ...

CNN Poll: Pelosi As (Un)Popular As Gingrich
The Moderate Voice —
... House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat who became Speaker of the House to great fanfare as the first woman to serve as in that post, has now reached a watershed moment: according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, she is now as (un)popular as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. ...
alicublog — ... (that is, to reiterate, normal Americans) might find self-serving, as opposed to the President's generous position. I understand the impatience of Glenn Greenwald and others with Obama's take-it-easy attitude toward the torture issues that Dick Cheney is taking less easy. Certainly the mainstream media is playing up this alleged division between the left -- whatever that is -- and Obama ("Liberals 'Souring on Obama'?"). But I also see that Pelosi's disapproval ratings mirror those of the unfortunately availed keynote rightwing ...
The GOP in decline
The Reaction —
... Not that those of us on the other side ought to back down in apparent victory. On the contrary, Democrats must continue to work hard to support, and accelerate, the GOP's decline.

... CNN says that Nancy Pelosi has Newt Gingrich-like approval ratings, in the sense that she has an approval rating that Newt Gingrich at one point had while he was Speaker of the House.

Poll: Pelosi's numbers slide
News —
... appears to have dropped her approval ratings, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll . The poll found that 39 percent approve of her job performance while 48 percent disapprove. That puts Pelosi behind congressional Democrats, who registered a 51 percent approval rating. CNN draws a parallel between Pelosi's approval rating and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's (R-Ga.) during his first year as speaker. Gingrich had a 37 percent approval rating in 1995. It seems to me, though, that the better barometer would be comparing Pelosi and Gingrich's approval ratings at the same ...
