As the government reopens this week, a whole new can of worms is opening up for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Pelosi’s popularity dropped during the 35-day partial government shutdown.

Pelosi suffered a 6-point drop in her approval rating, according to poll. 28 percent of Americans rated Pelosi as favorable, while 47 percent rated her as unfavorable.

The Wall Street Journal Poll shows President Donald Trump’s approval rating declined only 3 percent total since the midterm elections were held in November, to 43%. A number that remains steady from December to last week when the poll was released.
