Republican Party Favorability Highest in Seven Years

[Drumcollie]

Story Highlights

• Republican favorability at 45%, Democrats at 44%
• Democrats generally have had the upper hand in favorability ratings
• Major gains for Republican Party within the party, including leaners

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.

What I would say about this is if you are not a Republican, do not act like you have been. It has just gotten worse in the way you behave. Most of America, not the childish version that shows up at rallies ect for liberals, does not like the way you have behaved. It is selfish and it is costing you at a time when historically, these midterms favor Democrats. What you are doing is not working. Maybe it is time to try a softer gentler more loving and caring approach.

What a difference a year makes.

"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.

"At the time of last September's poll, congressional Republicans were in the final throes of an unsuccessful attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as 'Obamacare,' and were losing a highly publicized battle with Democrats over a debt ceiling bill.

"Since then, Republicans have passed a tax cut bill that was supported by a vast majority of Republicans, and the economy has continued to make gains under the Republican administration of Donald Trump."

I think that the loss of the election by Hillary Clinton and the angst and inability to accept the loss like mature adults has really hurt the democratic party. They seem bent on staying the course which is ok with me but if they want to win they are going to have to take a pro-America course of action.
