Into The Wilderness

4:46 pm EST November 20th, 2008 | Republicans | 1 Comment

The deserving fate of the modern Republican party.

The Republican Party’s image has gone from bad to worse over the past month, as only 34% of Americans in a Nov. 13-16 Gallup Poll say they have a favorable view of the party, down from 40% in mid-October. The 61% now holding an unfavorable view of the GOP is the highest Gallup has recorded for that party since the measure was established in 1992.

By contrast, the public’s views of the Democratic Party remain as positive after the election as they were just prior to it. More than half of Americans, 55%, currently hold a favorable view of the Democratic Party and only 39% an unfavorable view, highly typical of views toward the Democrats all year.

    Which the Democrats in Congress, being Democrats, will take to mean they should knuckle under anytime the Repubs want something (because otherwise people won’t like them).
