Washington (CNN)Republicans are more positive about their slate of presidential contenders than they were around the same time during the last two campaigns, according to a new survey.

The poll, from the Pew Research Center, found that 57% of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters said they have an "excellent" or "good" impression of their party's presidential candidates.

That compares to the 50% that viewed the GOP field positively in September of 2007, and the far fewer -- 44% -- that had a favorable view of the field in May of 2011.

Democrats, meanwhile, are experiencing the opposite trend: they're less positive about the slate of presidential candidates than they were in September 2007.

Then, 64% of Democrats rated their party's candidates excellent or good. Now, 54% say the same.

Well duh. Hillary is a crook and the democrats know it. She’s an elite out for herself and maybe her spawn Chelsea.

Now like good lemmings they will vote for her, but even they know they are being sold down the river.

Go among southern Democrats. It’s hard to get excited over Hillary. Maybe ten-percent might act that way, but it’s just not anything worth getting excited.

So you turn and look at Paul, Rubio, Cruz, and Walker. I’d say sixty percent of Republicans are fairly excited and will continue all the way to the convention.
