"53 percent majority of Americans aren’t familiar enough with Pelosi to form an opinion about her"

What percentage of this 53% don't vote or rarely vote? If you don't know who she is it stands to reason that you don't pay that much attention to politics. In other words, the type of people who rarely/never vote.

If someone puts in an ad that Democrats votes 98 plus % of the times with Democrats even those that say they will be independent during their campaigns then show some of the comments by Democrats leaders such as Pelosi saying they will impeach Bush if Democrats win control of House, it can have an affect.

If the idea is to run national TV spots, I would tend to agree that it is not likely to be effective. But the GOTV efforts tend to be most effective when done on a retail level and these can be a great opportunity to us the Speaker Pelosi meme. Of course even in the GOTV effort, you wouldn't want to use Speaker Pelosi as a one-size-fits-all motivator. But for getting the hard core base who are disappointed with the GOP majority in Congress, this ain't a bad tool to use.

Similarly, I thought the recent GOP "fact sheet" about Kos was pretty silly...my hunch is that even if I only polled people who knew who Nancy Pelosi is, only a fraction of those would know Kos.

Political junkies are the people who vote in the midterm elections. It is all about getting your various junkies to the polls on election day. I don't think this poll is worth very much.

Barney Frank? My guess is he's less well known than Pelosi and only for being gay.
