Democrats believe she is poised to become House speaker again, but American voters don't like Rep. Nancy Pelosi, at least when compared to the other congressional leaders.

Rasmussen Reports tells Secrets that she suffers from a 53 percent unfavorable rating. Just 33 percent of likely voters view her favorably. Only Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a lower favorable rating, 25 percent, but his unfavorables aren't as bad as Pelosi's, at 47 percent.

Ratings of GOP leaders are not much better. House Speaker John Boehner's favorable/unfavorable rating is 32 percent/43 percent. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's are 29 percent/36 percent.
