The Republican Party’s favorability among Americans appears to have suffered following the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, although views of the Democratic Party have remained steady, according to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday.

The GOP’s favorability fell to 37 percent, down from 45 percent in September when it had been the most favorable rating for the party since 2010 after the successful confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Democratic Party’s favorability rating has remained at 45 percent.

Although the Republican Party’s favorability has plummeted following the 35-day shutdown that ended last week, Gallup noted that opinions are still higher than the 28 percent rating the party was given during the October 2013 shutdown.

1. No honest person can tolerate the ceaseless barrage of republican lies

It's disgusting. So repubes should not be surprised that decent people are running from them.

Being traitors to America ain't helping them much either.

2. As it should after all they had the power to end the shutdown at any time but they refused to.
