The Republican Party has hit a new low.

Just 34 percent of Americans in a Gallup Poll released Thursday say they have a favorable view of the party, down 40 percent from a month ago, before the election.

What’s worse: 61 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of the Republican Party.

According to Gallup, that unfavorable rating is the highest the polling organization has recorded for the GOP since the measure was established in 1992.

The poll of national adults was conducted on November 13-16 with a three percent margin of error.

So many foolish, gullible people in this country. Public education should be dismantled.

I'm not surprised. The GOP has ceased to stand for anything conservative.

Oh please, if I never see another stupid poll for the rest of my life it still won’t be long enough.

What the poll neglects is that a large contingent of the public believes that the GOP still controls both houses of Congress.

Can you say the best PR agencies and full on PR campaign joined with candidates that do what they say and say what they do—people who are true conservatives that can articulate why conservative policies are much better for our country. PERIOD.

These are the same polls that said McCain would lose by 11-12% and lost by 5. Never believe them again. They are only used by the Establishment Media to hamper fundraising for the GOP.

Whatever, the people who they polled will wish for a Republican in office within two years after Obama ruins this country.

The economy and our country’s safety will be precarious, at best, after he takes office.

Its amazing how many people think that Republicans run "the entire government."

And you good folks wonder why I HATE when other folks on this site invoke the "will of the people."

We got 47% of the vote with 99% of the media working against us 24/7.

If the media tilted right the way they do left democrats would be lucky to get 25% of the vote. We would get all their sheep. All your sheep are belong to us.

What is to like about the RINO dominated GOP? Libs prefer REAL Marxists aka the Donk party, and conservatives loath pseudo-libs aka RINOs.

PS Guess I should change RINO to CINO, since soft leftists now dominate the Republicans...

A Zogby "idiots who voted for Oboma" poll showed the majority of democrat voters think the Republicans are in charge of the house and Senate. DUH!

Other polls before the election had the house and senate democrats with single digit approval ratings - even lower than Bush.

Hopefully!
