Poll: GOP disapproval highest since 1992

I don't know why people (you know who) keep thinking Trump or Cruz can beat the Hill.


More than 60 percent of the American public has an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party, an increase from last fall and the highest that the party’s negative rating has been since 1992.

Sixty-two percent of Americans have an unfavorable impression of the GOP compared to 33 percent who view the party favorably, according to a Pew Research Center study released Thursday. That’s a more negative image of the party than in October, when there was a split of 58 percent unfavorable to 37 percent favorable

American opinion of the Democratic Party, meanwhile, stayed about the same: 45 percent view the party favorably and 50 percent unfavorably. That leaves a quarter of the public with a negative view of both parties, an increase from past presidential election years.

It doesn't matter what their unfavorability is. Congress is only favored by about 10%, but everyone votes for their congressperson or senator regardless. We need to focus on the strengths of the democratic candidates and HRC.
