"For the First Time Since 1994 A Majority of Republicans Are Dissatisfied With Their Party"

For the First Time Since 1994 A Majority of Republicans Are Dissatisfied With Their Party

"SNIP........................................

For the first time in six poll results dating to 1994, a majority (52%) of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents say their party is going astray, according to a new poll for ABC by Langer Research Associates.

Only 37% of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents say their leaders are taking the GOP in the right direction. A stunning fifty-two percent say their own leaders are headed the wrong way, “up 20 points from last August (when the White House seemed winnable) and a majority for the first time in six poll results dating to 1994.”

A majority of Republicans are dissatisfied with their party for the first time dating to 1994.

Also, as much as the media likes to hype Democrats/”liberals” (note for the media: “Libertarian liberals” are not representative of Democratic liberals) hating on Obama, according to this poll, Democrats are pretty darn happy with their leadership. In fact, 72% say their Democratic leaders are taking things in the right direction.
