House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) applauds President Trump during a State of the Union address on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019. A new poll from Fox News shows that a plurality of voters — 43 percent of respondents — think that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) came out of the shutdown fight looking politically stronger than Trump. Only 35 percent of the country thinks Trump came out looking stronger. Independents were 15 percentage points more likely to say Pelosi came out looking stronger, while Democrats and Republicans each figured that their own leaders won the fight. There’s an interesting aspect to that, though: Republicans were 54 points more likely to say Trump emerged looking politically stronger, but Democrats were 66 points more likely to pick Pelosi.
