How the Public Views Planned Parenthood (and the NRA)

How the Public Views Planned Parenthood (and the NRA)

Planned Parenthood and the National Rifle Association may both be the targets of protests and heated rhetoric, but they are still viewed more favorably than the candidates running for president on both sides of the aisle.

In a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Planned Parenthood was rated positively by 45 percent of those surveyed, while 30 percent said they viewed the organization negatively.

The NRA got a positive rating from 43 percent of respondents and a negative rating from 32 percent.

Those net favorability ratings are higher than those tallied for major 2016 candidates like Hillary Clinton (37 percent positive/ 48 percent negative), Scott Walker (19 percent positive/ 20 percent negative), Jeb Bush (26 percent positive/40 percent negative) and Donald Trump (26 percent positive/56 percent negative).

That would shut the repugs up.
