Nearly three out of five Americans have an unfavorable view of Republicans, an all-time high, and two in five do not want their own member of Congress reelected, according to a poll out Tuesday.
Overall, 70 percent of respondents to a CNN/ORC International survey said most US lawmakers should not get a new term, while just 41 percent said their own representative deserved to go back to Washington.
President Barack Obama's Republican foes won unfavorable reviews from 59 percent, an all-time high since CNN first asked the question in 1992, making the aftermath of the debt-limit battle worse for the party than president Bill Clinton's 1998-1999 impeachment hearings in his sex-and-lies scandal.
Respondents split when asked about the Democratic Party -- 47 percent said they had a favorable opinion and the same number said they viewed them unfavorably.
The arch-conservative "Tea Party" movement scored the lowest favorable rating, with 31 percent, though at 51 percent their unfavorable numbers were lower than the Republicans.
Congressional leaders fared poorly as well, with just 33 percent favorable ratings for Republican House Speaker John Boehner and 31 percent for House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Both parties' Senate leaders, Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid, got a 39 percent unfavorable rating.

Keep telling yourself that.
‘record disapproval’ usually hangs around with record debt.. whether you’re directly responsible for running it up or not..
Oh wait, this is a CNN poll.. never mind.
They’re not too popular around here as well.
Oh well, let them dream. I hope they keep this up. Maybe their side will stay home figuring they have it in the bag on election 2012.
Of course CNN won’t mention that Obama’s re-elect numbers are even worse.
No 3rd Party. Save the GoP from itself! Primary the heck out of them!
The End.
.
The same kind of record disapproval they had last November?
Liberal “journalists” are like the nazis in the bunker toward the end; partying, dancing and listening to the Goebbels kids sing while Red Army artillery falls all around them..
There are a bucket load of RINOs I would love to throw out.
Another liberal poll attempting to make news rather than to report news.
Not likely voters, just retards who will give whatever answer they think the pollster wants to hear. Just ignore last year’s elections where people actually had to go to actual polls and make a decision.
Rs still lead generic congressional ballot 41-39. What CNN fails to report her is that Rat disapproval is just as high.
I really doubt they asked for proof of US citizenship, to begin with.
But cell phone? Pollsters can call you on your cell phone????
According to their poll it is not just as high. 47% approval.
If this place were polled the GOP would not have majority approval. Probably be worse than the general public.
Wrong, Hussein's re-elect number is significantly better. His approval rating is 44% and his re-elect number if 47%.
This country is full of ignorant minorities and masses of eaters on the dole that still love the guy.
The Tea Party is the most powerful force in politics today, but it is not the most popular. Most people still don't want to hear we have to cut anything.
Another poll “The poll shows the president is on shaky ground.
A majority of Americans—51 percent—believe he doesn’t deserve re-election. Forty-seven percent said he does. When pitted against an unnamed Republican, President Obama narrowly leads 49 to 45 percent. But Obama still remains below the crucial 50 percent mark in that scenario.”
Polls don’t mean much now (if they ever do).
It’s a CNN poll though so they probably polled Ds over Rs at a ratio of 3 to 1.
