The first poll is from Pew Research. It says that in recent months the Republican Party’s overall favorability rating – not high to begin with – has edged ever lower. About 33 percent of voters now have a favorable impression of the GOP, according to the survey, released April 28. That’s down from 37 percent in October.
As Pew notes, “The decline in favorability since then has largely come among Republicans themselves.”
About 68 percent of GOP members view their party favorably, according to Pew. Last fall, the comparable number was 79 percent.
It’s not hard to guess what’s driving this. The GOP primary season has at times been an unedifying spectacle. That’s going to take a toll, among nonpartisans and partisans alike.
