The favorability of the Republican Party has dropped to its lowest level since Bloomberg began polling the question in 2009.

Only 32 percent of Americans view the GOP favorably, whereas 49 percent of Americans view the Democratic Party favorably, according to the Bloomberg Poll.

Among Republicans, 28 percent said they have unfavorable views toward the party, whereas 4 percent of Democrats felt unfavorably toward their party. The Bloomberg poll also found that one in three Republicans view Donald Trump unfavorably, while 17 percent of Democrats view Hillary Clinton unfavorably.

The poll appears to show the negative impact Trump’s impending nomination has had on the Republican Party. The same poll found that Clinton is leading Trump 49-37 percent nationwide among likely voters.

The poll, conducted by Selzer & Co., surveyed 1,000 adults nationally from June 10-13 with a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
