The following is from Gallup News Poll.
Americans are more likely to say they have an unfavorable (43%) than favorable (37%) opinion of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
One in five Americans say they have never heard of him (11%) or are not familiar enough with him to offer an opinion (10%). As would be expected, Johnson’s fellow Republicans tend to rate him positively, while Democrats hold decidedly negative views.
Johnson is currently the highest-ranking Republican in the federal government as the party gathers this week for the Republican National Convention.
The June 3-23 survey marks the first time Gallup has measured favorability of Johnson, who was installed as speaker in October after his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, was ousted.
However, a December Gallup poll measuring job performance found 40% of U.S. adults approving and 56% disapproving of the job Johnson was doing as speaker earlier in his term.
Johnson’s predecessors tended to have higher unfavorable than favorable ratings at roughly similar points in their tenures as speaker. This includes McCarthy, whose 37% favorable and 44% unfavorable ratings in a poll taken last year are almost identical to Johnson’s current ratings.
Nancy Pelosi in her second term as speaker, as well as John Boehner and Newt Gingrich, were also rated more negatively than positively. Pelosi had equally high favorable and unfavorable ratings roughly two years into her first term as speaker.
Paul Ryan and Dennis Hastert had higher favorable ratings than unfavorable ratings after eight months, though Hastert was still largely unknown at the time. (Continued…)

Speaker Juhnson has “RINO weasel” written all over his face.
Johnson displays all the qualities of politicians in the swamp I have come to dispose. All the consistencies of a weathervane; the courage of a Vietnam draft dodger; the honesty of Joe Biden; the morality of a Clinton; the transparency of a Romney; the humble demeanor and integrity of a McCain. The ability to inspire trust and confidence of Obama. The vision of Maxine Waters.
What has Johnson done about those imprisoned by Biden’s apparatchik’s for Jan 6? What steps has he taken to curb the abuses of the FBI and CIA? Why has he not stopped Biden’s unauthorized and illegal importation via air of illegal aliens?
He is a bad joke. He is an impotent Ryan.
His is not amoral like the Clintons.
