HOLY COW: This Is An Ugly Chart For Republicans

[Galraedia]

Only 28% of Americans view the Republican Party favorably, the lowest mark for either party in Gallup polling dating back to 1992, when they started asking that question.

The latest Gallup survey, taken amid an ongoing federal government shutdown for which most have blamed Republicans so far, plunges the GOP's favorability levels 10 points from where they were in September. More than six in 10 Americans (62%) now view the Republican Party unfavorably, also a record-high in Gallup polling.

The previous low for the GOP came in 1999, when only 31% of people viewed the party favorably. That was during the impeachment proceedings of President Clinton.

Democrats have a more measured favorable-to-unfavorable split at 43-49. The 43% favorability level is down four points from last month.

3. Drip, drip, drip...

It's not the death knell of the GOP - not by a very long shot - but it is indicative of how they are oh-so-slowly sinking in the public's view.

It really is now possible to tell non-politically minded people that "today's conservatives are like the Communists in the 1930's; they hate the American system and our modern way of life and want to tear it down."
