Title: Republicans’ Approval Ratings Worst In 25 Years

They got rid of scandal-tainted Majority Leader Tom DeLay, airport shoe-tapper Larry Craig and prurient instant message typer Mark Foley, but they just can't seem to shake the gloom.

Congressional Republicans scored just 36 percent approval ratings from the American public in a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Friday.

Fifty-four percent of Americans viewed Republicans in Congress unfavorably, while 41 percent said they were rankled by Democrats. Democrats had a 53 percent approval rating to Republicans' 36.

But despite Democrats' edge over Republicans, their handling of Congress receives few plaudits, according to the poll. Almost 70 percent of those questioned said they disapproved of how Congress was handling its job, with just 29 percent expressing approval.

"The Republican party may still be battling the legacy left to them by George W. Bush," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland was quoted as saying. "They have also spent a lot of time in 2009 working against Democratic proposals. That hasn't left them a lot of time so far this year to present a positive, post-Bush message. Of course, there is still plenty of time for them to do so before the 2010 midterms."

Republicans have branded themselves "the party of no," for their votes against a Democrat-backed stimulus plan and near-unanimous opposition to President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul goals.

An earlier poll published in June was the subject of a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee memo replete with a graph of recent polls.

A Washington/Post ABC poll in June put Republicans' at a 36 percent approval, while three other polls gave the party a favorability rating of under 30 percent. Republicans scored 29 percent, 28 percent and 25 percent respectively in polls conducted by The New York Times, Pew Research and NBC.

CNN Pushes phony polls. Rasmussen is far more accurate http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/dai ly_presidential_tracking_poll On the political front, 73% of GOP voters say Congressional Republicans have lost touch with the party's base. ---What this means is that rank and file voters are on the verge of a state of rebellion.

Fixed News?

Funny, I've never seen you come down on Fox really hard before.

Marching orders finally percolate down to the boiler rooms then? Interesting.

Yeah, actually, been around long enough to not see you toss out things like "Fixed News" all the time. But, given the new push by the O white house, it makes sense that you'd follow the lead you've been told to follow. Heh.

Indeed but I am behind keeping up with all their 'requests'.

I'll get caught up now that the fall harvest is all but over with.
