Republican Party Favorability Highest in Seven Years
Gallop ^ | 09/24/2018 | Jim Norman

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%.

Politicians live in a bubble. They are so insulated that they come to believe that their rabid base represents a majority of the public.

The Dems are committing a slow suicide.

I’m pretty much diggin it that in a week we’ll have confirmed Kavanaugh and that in a month and a half we’ll increase our majority in the Senate AND the house.

Dems will be crushed.

I laugh at their stupid tears.

I want blood.

But I thought everyone hated Republicans and were going to walk on broken glass to vote for Democrats? That’s what the MSM tells me 24/7.

Ratings would be in single digits for all tv programming if that was the case. They’ve politicized everything

have you seen CNN’s ratings?

I mean all tv programming like what? The Big Bang Theory?
Or you mean news? News ratings are not good, and the late night talk shows like Kimmel, or Maddow etc Ann Coulter put it best, it’s the same 2/3 million people who switch around to see someone preach their leftist drivel.

That is unexpected. Who would have guessed that demanding a Salem Witch Trial of Brett Kavanaugh would play badly with normal Americans?

We all have mothers, sisters, and daughters whom we would want treated with respect if they were the victim. Who would have guessed that we also have fathers, husbands, and sons whom we see as deserving of due process and a fair hearing?

And the tolerant left will screech louder and longer and higher.

I’ve already seriously cut down on my social media (except Freep, for some reason) time. Guess I’ll cut down some more!
