    Default Majority Of Americans Think It's 'Bad For The Country' That Republicans Control The H

    Just more proof in a growing unsurmountable mountain of evidence that Ted Cruz is not only a moron and the biggest loser in american politics but hes the single best thing for the democrat party ever.


    A majority of Americans think it is bad for the country that Republicans control the House of Representatives, and even more want House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to be replaced by another Republican, according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Monday.

    Fifty-four percent think it's bad that Republicans control the House, the poll found. That's up from 43 percent in December 2012, during the last fiscal standoff. The figure is the first time a majority thought Republican control was bad for the country since CNN started asking in December 2010. Sixty-three percent of respondents want Boehner replaced, but by another Republican, which would not change GOP control of the House.

    The poll is yet another sign that the government shutdown has hurt the Republican party. An NBC/WSJ poll taken during the shutdown showed that 24 percent of people approved of the party, a record low. Gallup measured another record low for the GOP, with 28 percent approving. A poll released Sunday funded by Moveon.org and conducted by the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling showed that incumbent Republicans trailed generic Democrats in 15 of 25 competitive House districts.

    Democrats generally outnumber Repubs but Gerrymandering and Voter restrictions assist the Repubs at this time

    Wisconsin is 53 percent Dem vote but gerrymandering gives reds 2/3rds of the statehouse. Same for other states like Michigan too.

    Here's some highlights from this poll...

    A total of 841 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. All
    respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national Census
    figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage. Among the entire sample, 30% described
    themselves as Democrats, 20% described themselves as Republicans, and 50% described themselves as Independents or
    members of another party.
    The sample includes 596 interviews among landline respondents
    and 245 interviews among cell phone respondents.
    Interviews with 841 adult Americans conducted by telephone by
    ORC International on October 18-20, 2013
