GOP Hits All Time Lows

Even though President Obama's overall ratings remain high, some in the national media interpreted two new polls as showing the end of the president's honeymoon period.

However, Steve Benen points out that the polls show the favorability of the Republican party hitting new all time lows.

NYT/CBS Poll: "While Republicans have steadily increased their criticism of Mr. Obama, particularly on the budget deficit, the poll found that the Republican Party is viewed favorably by only 28% of those polled, the lowest rating ever in a New York Times/CBS News poll. In contrast, 57% said that they had a favorable view of the Democratic Party."

WSJ/NBC poll: "25% hold a favorable view of the Republican Party, which is an all-time low for it in the poll. 45% hold a favorable view of the Democratic Party."

3. They're as popular now as herpes. I guess we'll need a NEW reason to cave in to them

this could be a real puzzler....

Hah just kiddin around! Democrats never need a REASON to cave in before the almighty Republican Party.

4. CorpMedia will ignore this...

If FOX doesn't report it, it never happened. Got to keep the Bush base placated.

Fortunately, we still have the Internet.

7. Now, that's a real shame. Maybe spreading the news about Ensign will cheer them up?

8. After all their efforts

I'd think they'd be in single digits by now.

12. They are doing their best to achieve that....At what point do they cease

to be a major party? 15%? 10%?

Is there any realistic minimum number to be considered a "real" party?
Or is it just cause they say so?

10. That's right, everybody gloat. Because if we don't get some kind of

public option or single payer health care now, the Republicans will take back Congress in 2010. Bet on it.
