    Default Opinion of the Republican Party falls to all-time low

    WASHINGTON (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.

    Republicans are signaling they prefer President Donald Trump's vision for the party, with 79% saying he is taking it in the right direction. A majority of GOP voters -- 53% -- believe Republican leaders in Congress are taking the party in the wrong direction.

    That finding comes as approval ratings and favorability ratings for Republican leaders in Congress have dropped. Overall approval of the party's leadership is down to 20%, a new low in CNN polling back to 2008. That includes just 39% of Republicans who approve of the job GOP leaders are doing. House Speaker Paul Ryan's favorability has dipped to 32%, a six-point drop since April, while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stands at 20% favorability, a seven-point dip since spring.

    An idiot-laden republican base at war with their own party.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Ok, lets look at this from another angle.
    One of Clinton's issues during the 201 campaign was parental leave. Lets assume she made it her most important issue for discussion's sake.
    Congress critters emphasized said issue during their individual campaigns. Voters thought it to be one of the most important issues to date and voted accordingly.
    Lets assume Hillary won, and Dems have the majority in both house and senate. Cool, right?
    Now congress isn't playing ball and can't agree on parental leave.
    Hello, voters are unhappy.
    Now look at the poll itself

    It was an election, not the election. Plenty of polls over time. Interesting question as to which political polls have been most accurate over time.

    I think an even better question is why did all the polls fail to correctly predict the outcome of the last presidential election. I do not recall a single poll that predicted Trump would win.
    In fact he lost the national popular vote tally, the methodologies appear to have underrepresented the "ashamed" Trump voter. Clearly there were many people who if asked would not admit to wanting
    to vote for him but who nonetheless cast it for him like a dirty little secret. Therefore I think they were swayed by the most repulsive aspects of his campaign and character in particular.
    Trump was then a love that dare not speak its name. I'd wager plenty of people who trumpet him here still would not do so in pleasant personal company. The never Hillary vote does not explain
    Trump's rise above the assortment of a dozen or so other not Hillary choices. Only a "fix America by fucking her over royaly" theory can explain a Trump vote.

    How about another explanation, letting morons like you pick another Democrat president so similar to the last one that she practically hired him to help her would have buried our country in a hole of which we may never have dug out of

    An idiot-laden republican base at war with their own party.
    Or the typical oversampling of liberal/socialist progressives, a bias CNN and their polling partners are terminally infected with.

    http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2017/im...d.2018.pdf.pdf

    A total of 1,053 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones.
    Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. Among the entire sample, 30% described themselves as Democrats, 24%
    described themselves as Republicans, and 41% described themselves as independents or members of another party.

    Looking past the propaganda being pushed by CNN, it's interesting to learn what the majority of the respondents feel about Dems in Congress:

    Q34. ASKED OF DEMOCRATS/DEMOCRATIC LEANING INDEPENDENTS: With Republicans in control of Congress and the presidency: in general, do you think the Democrats should mainly work (with the Republicans to try to get some Democratic ideas into legislation) or should mainly work (to stop the Republican agenda)?

    Sept. 17-20, 2017

    Work with Republicans 74%
    Work to stop Republican agenda 23%
    Don't know/Undecided/Refused 4%

    So, are Dems working with Republicans, like the vast majority of their membership are demanding?

    That would be a resounding, NO!

    People need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid being fed to them via the left's culture war operative partners like CNN and the rest of their MSM affiliates.
