Gallup released polling on speaker Boehner and Pelosi. Seems like Boehners approval jumped to nearly a 2:1 ratio. 42-22. Meanwhile Pelosi continues to go in the opposite direction with a 33-54 approval. THough, this is off her lows of 29-56 set a couple of months ago.

Over the next two years, you'll see Boehners fall, and Pelosi rise

Agree. It happened to all previous speakers. Newt was not liked leaving office.

D. Corps has been pretty brutal to Obama's approval rating in the past. This is a significant improvement from this firm.
