Opinion of the Republican Party falls to a new low.

Source: CNN

There are fresh signs the Republican Party's brand is in trouble.

Fewer than three in 10 Americans -- 29% -- hold a favorable view of the Republican Party according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. That is down 13 percentage points from March and is the lowest mark for the GOP since CNN began asking the question in 1992.

The previous low point for the GOP was 30% -- hit twice -- in October 2013 following the federal government shutdown over President Barack Obama's health care law, and December 1998, in the wake of the House of Representatives approving two articles of impeachment against then President Bill Clinton.

Overall, 20% of Americans approve of the way Republican leaders in Congress are handling their jobs, while 72% disapprove. That includes just 39% of Republicans who approve of the job GOP leaders are doing.

What really counts is "How does Vlad feel now?" Has he decided tRump is destructive enough to put into the WH AGAIN? The gop barrels on, with lots of Russian money, plus plenty from the Kock traitors and other rich swines.

the gop is busy gerrymandering and "fixing" voting machines. They are so confident, they are not worried about elections, the FIX is in, in their favor.

the final 29% of Americans who are at the moment susceptible to republican Propaganda & Screw-the-Proles Shit Spin, Inc., would also realize what a colossal evil radical, wankoff the G.O.P. has become.

The G.O.P. family-values role model, Comrade Casino, republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, is leading them steadily down deeper and deeper into a moral, ethical and political cesspool of unfathomable dimensions.

Americans are apathetic morons who give more of a shit about their Starbucks latte order than about voting.

"Feelings about the Democratic Party are slightly rosier than those about the GOP, with 41% holding a favorable view of the party compared to 51% of Americans who say they hold a negative view."

We need to move those numbers up! Positive thinking and optimism about what Democrats will do when back in power.
