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.


I find this astonishing. With Obama being labeled as the Antichrist so frequently, I would have thought that the GOP ratings would have risen being as how they have taken on the role of our savior from the socialist evil.

It's only atonishing if you base your opinions on ATS and sites like it. The real world is just a leeetle different. Of course we here like to think we are better than others, er uh, more informed, it IS possible that isn't always the case. Repubs are really not contributing anything at all, THEY are the ones that raped the Nation under Bush. serves 'em right!

In polls, as in many other things, people see what they want to. The source is as worthy of consideration as the methodology.

Rasmussen sees things differently:

"Voters Trust Republicans More On 10 Top Issues"
www.rasmussenreports.com...

"GOP Up By Five Points In Generic Ballot
www.rasmussenreports.com...

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 42% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 37% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.

Beginning in late June, support for Republican candidates has ranged from 41% to 44%, while support for Democrats ranged from 36% to 40%. Looking back one year ago, support for the two parties was much different. Throughout the summer of 2008, support for Democratic congressional candidates ranged from 45% to 48%. Republican support ranged from 34% to 37%.


Then I have to ask, if GOP are at the lowest in 25 years, and they're 5 points AHEAD of Dems., What does that say about the Dems.?
