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.
Keep digging ! ! – I know it’s here somewhere ! ! –
A prefect image for the modern Republican party. They appear to be swirling down the big drain of history.
I remember when the GOP’s favorability was in the shitter back in 2009, but they really haven’t done anything since then for it to have gotten any higher. The electorate is fucking annoying.
It’s those bad numbers from self-described republicans that should scare them. The R’s who like trump are angry with their party for not supporting him sufficiently, and the rest I’d guess are angry with the party for their tepid half-assed embraces of him. It’s a bad year to be a GOP party man/woman I guess.
Could be wrong, and I know they seem un-democratic and Sen Sanders wants them buried, but this seems like the exact type of scenario that superdelegates exist to prevent in the Democratic party.
I’m not aware of any similar comparisons of GOP vs Democrat members of Congress.
All the popularity surveys of Congress have always seemed to lumped them together, which, in my view is unfair.
