Poll: GOP favorability drops as Dem favorability stays steady

The Republican Party’s favorability among Americans appears to have suffered following the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, although views of the Democratic Party have remained steady, according to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday.

The Democratic Party’s favorability rating has remained at 45 percent.

It's disgusting. So repubes should not be surprised that decent people are running from them.

Being traitors to America ain't helping them much either.
