GOP’s favorable rating at its lowest in a decade

There’s been some talk on the right about President Barack Obama’s approval rating, namely the fact that it stands near 53%, depending on the poll, but according to a new national poll, the Republican Party’s favorable rating among Americans is at its lowest level in at least a decade:

Thirty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they have a favorable opinion of the Republican Party, with 54 percent viewing the GOP negatively.

According to the poll, 53 percent have a positive opinion of the Democratic Party, with 41 percent holding an unfavorable view. The survey indicates that favorable ratings for the Democrats have dropped 5 points since February, with the Republican number slipping 3 points.

Yeah, that’s hardly a ringing endorsement for the Republican Party.

It’s also worth noting at the same time during his first term, President Bill Clinton’s approval rating stood at a robust 48%, and we all know how his reelection campaign turned out.
