It wasn't all that long ago that Harry "Bozo" Reid insulted Dick Cheney over approval ratings (the name was given him by his hometown paper, incidentally, not by me). Which is pretty humorous since Cheney's have been holding more or less steady around 38% favorable for some time now. While Reid's have been dropping – and now stand at a stellar 19%. 45% see him in an unfavorable light. Some other tidbits of interest:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is now viewed favorably by 19% of American voters and unfavorably by 45%. Just 3% have a Very Favorable opinion while 22% hold a Very Unfavorable views.
Reid has been very visible over the past week in the furor over immigration reform. The effort to pass a bill that was more popular in Congress than among voters may have hurt public perceptions of the Democratic leader. His ratings are down from a month ago when 26% had a favorable opinion of the Democratic Senator. Reid’s highest ratings were 30% favorable in February.
Each week, Rasmussen Reports updates favorability ratings for a number of political figures and others in the news. The latest numbers for Defense Secretary Robert Gates reflect a steady decline in recent months. He is now viewed favorably by 36% of Americans and unfavorably by 34%. Last December, 49% have a favorable opinion and only 26% held a negative opinion.
Vice President Dick Cheney’s numbers held steady—38% favorable and 58% unfavorable.
Among Presidential hopefuls, it was a good week for Fred Thompson. He is now viewed favorably by 45% and unfavorably by 31% A month ago, 39% had a favorable opinion and 27% voiced the opposite view. Thompson moved into second place among those seeking the GOP Presidential Nomination and is competitive in general election match-ups with many leading Democrats.
I still maintain that it will not be very long until the Democratic party rank and file look back on the Reid-Pelosi regime and revile them both for their ineptitude. Hey, I could be wrong.
But I don't think I am. If anything I'm being kind here.
I disliked Harry long before you all got on the bandwagon. He reminds me of one of the members of the Imperial Senate in the Star Wars Movies.

Oh, you mean Harry?
When you can’t even pull all the moonbats, you’re in trouble.
Dingy Harry was above 30% before he began making a complete incompetent fool of himself. 19% is probably a halfway house to the subbasement where he’ll end up.
