GOP Approval Plummets to its Lowest in History

Poll: GOP more unpopular than during Clinton impeachment

Quote :

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.

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. The House of Representatives voted to impeach Clinton on Dec. 19, 1998, and a survey taken between Dec. 19-20 that year found 57 percent unfavorable toward the Republican party. In January, that number fell to 52 percent, and has not been that high again until this month.

The Republicans are mainly to blame for that too. Their obstructionist tactics are coming home to roost and that poll illustrates it. My guess is a few more months of obstruction and those numbers will look good compared to where they will be.
