After Brief Honeymoon, Americans Sour On Boehner
Jon Terbush | April 28, 2011, 5:01PM

After giving Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) a brief post-election bump, Americans have gradually become less favorable toward him, as they are now evenly split between viewing him in a positive versus a negative light.

According to a Gallup poll released this week, 34% of Americans say they have a favorable opinion of Speaker Boehner, the same percentage who view him unfavorably. That's a sharp reversal from January, when Gallup found that 42% of Americans viewed him favorably, compared to only 22% who said the opposite.

Since the start of the year, Boehner's standing has slipped steadily with all political demographics, but most precipitously so among independent voters.

In January, more independents gave Boehner positive than negative marks by a 39% to 23% split. In the latest survey, that split flipped, as 29% of independents now said they viewed him favorably, versus 40% who viewed him unfavorably. That's a net shift of -27 points.

For damn good reason. He embodies Republicon Family Cesspool Values. No decent American wants that kinda stanky crap in a so-called 'leader.'
