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.

The fallout from the attempts by Republicans to give amnesty to illegal mexicons in 2006 is still at work, nobody wants to admit that the GOP ended right then and there.
_________________________________________________________________________ Great point.
If blacks, Hispanics, and immigrants are excluded from the American results, our student performance rises from 12th, to 2nd in reading and 5th in math.
Here's the most salient sentence in this article. Truly, if Dems are cheerleading the work that Dems AREN'T doing as the majority then they aren't paying attention. All the important issues are watered down. Voted into office in 2006 to end the wars..........failed miserably. And this is the party claiming accomplishments? The true Dem accomplishment is proving they are just as beholden to campaign donors as Reps and that they "care" about the American people to the same extent as Reps, no more and no less. Reps/Dems are proven morons participating in the two party fraud. I question the sanity of the 29% who approve at all.
At every point the Republicrat Party has betrayed its members. Eventually word gets around. This does not mean the Demoncans are any better.

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.

Rasmussen sucks Roger Ailes asshole for a gig or two on Fixed Knews.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
GOP is down. Conservative/libertarian views however, are skyrocketing. The White House has to be scared shitless at this point of the storm they've created.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
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.

Then you haven't been around these parts long...

Ah...you're on to something.....
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.

Thanks,Son. This IS good news. About time, eh? This wonderful turn around has a lot to do with Dr. Paul........I heart that man. : )
I keep seeing people post that with Obama's failings Republicans will take back power. I counter this with information on historical trends that don't bode well for Republicans. The above stats, while they could be a product of the leftist media, seem to prove I'm on the right track. The NWO has pushed what they can through the Republican party. Now comes the Dems turn. The stuff they have left on their agenda is all stuff more suited to Dems in power positions. They will not pull Republicans up until and unless they need them to push something.
But not its masters. That's what people are starting to see.
We'll know soon. IMO, if you see the R win the governor's race in VA, Christie beating Corzine in NJ & Hoffman (I) beating both the R & D in upstate NY, hold on to your hat. Two out of the three scenarios would be huge. '94 might be looking like a walk in the park for the Os.
Amen...
I don't have a dog in this fight because I don't know much about the credibility and accuracy of various polling firms. However, Rasmussen did address the issue somewhat at the following url, providing links to other sources as well as providing some comparisons of their methodology vs their competitors. The discussion starts after the chart. Enjoy!
The pure genius behind this is that there are still only two parties allowed in "the system" and no matter how much "the American people" hate one or the other or both of them, one or the other is always going to be in power.

"Greenhouse gases do not act as a blanket around the earth and they do not keep the atmosphere warm. ... greenhouse gases emit more radiation than they absorb and this ongoing radiation loss tends to cool the atmosphere at between 1C and 2C per day, a fact known for more than 50 years. And yet we continue to get the simplistic explanation that greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere and so more greenhouse gases will warm the atmosphere more. No wonder the public is taken in!" --William Kininmonth, meteorologist , 1791
