A New Poll Shows The Republican Party Has Completely Collapsed in Virginia [View all]

http://www.politicususa.com/2013/10/17/poll-shows-republican-party-completely-collapsed-virginia.html

These numbers are astounding. Seventy-one percent of Independents in Virginia now view the Republican Party negatively. Just 23% don’t. Sixty-two percent overall have a negative view of the party. Yes, this is all about the shutdown, so heckofajob, Brownie Ted Cruz.

A new NBC4/NBC News/Marist poll shows the Republican Party collapsing in Virginia, a state deeply impacted by the government shutdown. Fifty-four percent blame Republicans for the shutdown, while just 31% blame President Obama.

Democrats face unfavorables of 45-50% and President Obama has favorables at 50-48%.

+++PLUS +++

Cuccinelli tried bizarrely to blame Democrat McAuliffe for the shutdown, “It’s a failure of leadership … and Terry McAuliffe deserves part of the blame. McAuliffe said he is against compromise, against working together to find solutions.”
