Only 28 percent have a favorable view of the GOP, the worst rating Gallup has ever registered for a political party.
It's also a 10 percent plunge from Gallup's last poll in September, when 38 percent had a favorable view of Republicans.
A strong majority, 62 percent, have a negative view of the GOP, according to the survey.
Only 43 percent said they have a favorable view of the Democratic Party, but that’s 15-percentage points better than the GOP, and slightly better than the Democratic low mark of 41 percent in 2010.
A plurality, 49 percent, said they have a negative view of the Democratic Party.
Gallup has been conducing the survey since 1992. Its previous low ranking of 31 percent was logged by Republicans at the end of the George W. Bush administration.

Thank god the senate still has some sanity left in it and has not been completely taken over by Tea Party wingnuts, the same wingnuts that are holding this nation hostage.
Those 'wingnuts' are representing their constituency and the majority of the people of this country that want a repeal of Obamacare.
How much do you get paid to shill for this administration, Muse?
It's no surprise these days that Congress isn't very popular, but a new poll says voters have a higher opinion of witches, hemorrhoids and jury duty than their lawmakers in Washington.
Voters say they have a higher opinion of hemorrhoids than Congress, by 53% to 31%. More than seven in 10 voters say they view jury duty more favorably than Congress, which musters only 18% support in that comparison. Even toenail fungus rates 3 percentage points higher Congres
Overall, voters in PPP's telephone poll gave Congress an 8% approval rating. Nearly nine in 10 voters, or 86%, say they disapprove of Congress — which is in line with a recent CNN survey.
If people did not want Obamacare they should have not voted for Obama again who ran it as the primary part of his campaign. The real fear for the GOP is it works. Only the nut bags think it is the end of the world.
