WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Forty-five percent of Americans now have a favorable view of the Republican Party, a nine-point gain from last September's 36%. It is the party's most positive image since it registered 47% in January 2011, shortly after taking control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections. Forty-four percent give the Democratic Party a favorable rating.
The parity in Republicans' and Democrats' favorable ratings marks a change from what has generally been the case since Barack Obama's election as president in November 2008. Republicans have usually been rated less positively than Democrats over this time, with the Republican Party's favorability rating for the last decade averaging 39%, compared with the Democratic Party's 44%.
Only one other time in the last decade has the Republican Party had a significantly higher score than the Democratic Party. That one exception came in November 2014, immediately after elections that saw Republicans capture control of the Senate and expand their majority in the House, when 42% rated the GOP favorably and 36% the Democrats.
The overall increase in the favorable image of the Republican Party is a result of a jump in the positive views of Republicans, including independents who lean toward the party. The percentage of Republicans and leaners with favorable views of their party grew from 67% last September to 85% now.

They’ll blow that in a day if they screw-up Kavanaugh.

Trump Effect.
They’ll fix that soon enough.
It is as I predicted... get rid of the GOPe poison pill and three previously alienated GOP stalwarts will return, for every NeverTrumper who finally jumps ship to join the team he’s really on.
Bogus poll to keep us from voting. If Grassley screws up the BK nomination, they don’t have to worry, I’m staying home
The Karl Rove track record of loosing elections.
This is why Grassley is letting this drag. Most people know Kavanaugh is solid. The Dems are shooting themselves in the foot with every attack.
#WalkAway finally taking root . . .
Take the wind out of the Dem sails... demoralize them... vote for Kavanaugh NOW!
I suspect that the democrats have energized the GOP base in ways they will regret come Election Day.
This isn’t about Kavanaugh alone. This is about the preservation of our system of justice.
Trump MRGA!
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Also, you can move to Canada.
But But according to the Commie media that NEVER lies, its gonna be a HUGE blue wave in November..Republicans are gonna lose everything
Pardon the run-on sentence, but the idea should be clear. This charade must be turned into an indictment of those who lack any moral compass; those who want to return to the nightmare of judicial activism, which has so compromised our heritage.

“This is why Grassley is letting this drag. Most people know Kavanaugh is solid.”
I agree. If the Dems want to promote a lie, let them. They *always* go overboard and it *always* costs them.
The Republicans have been behaving a BIT (I stress BIT) better ... if they “win” this Kavanaugh battle (and only idiots could screw this up), the Dems are going to be demoralized and bitter ... hopefully the President has something up his sleeve to counter attack the instant Kavanaugh is confirmed :-).
Keep the bad work dims.
You have that right!
Keep up that is..
“I suspect that the democrats have energized the GOP base in ways they will regret come Election Day.”
Their handlers know they’ll be willing to “party” again on Nov. 7, and since cops were told to stand down last time, and those who didn’t saw no convictions....
Be ready for the “disappointed” thugs “The Day After” the Rats lose again.
