So, this whole GOP "destroy the economy" agenda isn't sitting well with the American people. They're unfavorable ratings are hitting new highs. Oh well:
Voters are more unhappy with the Republican Party now than they were when the Republican-led House voted to impeach then-President Clinton, according to a new CNN poll released Tuesday.Don't get too excited. It still took until 2006 before voters dumped the GOP from control of the House and Senate.
Fifty-nine percent of voters polled said they had an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party, with 33 percent calling their opinion favorable. The Tea Party did not poll well, either, with 51 percent saying they have an unfavorable opinion of the movement.
The last time CNN polled the GOP out of favor with more than 50 percent was in 1998.
Congress has hit a new low in Gallup's polling, too:
About one in five U.S. registered voters (21%) say most members of Congress deserve re-election, the lowest percentage Gallup has found in the 20-year history of asking this question. The prior lows of 28% were recorded in 2010 and earlier this year.
