A new Gallup poll finds congressional Republicans with a higher approval rating than Democrats in the wake of President Trump's impeachment and acquittal in the Senate.
Republicans get a 40 percent approval rating, compared to 35 percent for Democrats.
The Gallup poll found that since October, shortly after Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry, the approval rating for Republicans in the Gallup poll has gone up six points, from 34 percent to 40 percent. Democrats saw their approval rating fall over the same period from 38 percent to 35 percent.
The disapproval rating in the Gallup poll for Democrats rose, from 57 percent to 62 percent.
The findings are also significant in that since Gallup began polling of lawmakers in 1999, Democrats have tended to have a higher approval rating than Republicans.
Gallup wrote that the approval rating for Republicans has largely gone up because Republican and Republican-leaning respondents are giving them higher marks for their work.

bummer. /s
Dem politicians are nothing but clowns.
Gallup only polls adults, so these results are nice.
We gotta get the house back for Trump’s last 4 years! Traitor Rats love a weak America!
Hasn't the general rule of thumb been on the generic party approval question that it is skewed about 5 percentage points in favor of the Democrats? A five point or less deficit was seen as good news for the Republicans. A five point lead for the Republicans is tidal wave territory. Gerrymandering is going mute the effect to some degree but I sense that most people (except the hardcore leftists) were pretty disgusted by the whole House impeachment circus and it will have an effect in November.
Since I don't put much stock in any poll, I don't care, BUT, the demonRATs, that live and die by polls, must be hysterical.
They use them to shape the news, but when they are bad, they have no reply and no plan forward.
I love it when they are running in circles.
I can’t recall a larger edge for the GOP in this type of poll. Hopefully we’ll see similar numbers in the generic preference polls.
