70% blame the GOP

[Old Rocks]

Poll: Republicans' Handling Of Shutdown Increasingly Unpopular

The government shutdown isn't winning anyone in Washington points with the public -- but Republicans are faring the worst, according to new polls.

A Washington Post/ABC poll released Monday found that while the public's ratings for the president and both parties in Congress remain negative, disapproval of Republicans has grown in the past week. Seventy percent of Americans now disapprove of how Republicans in Congress are handling budget negotiations, up from 63 percent last week.

Gonna be 80% next week, boys. Welcome to Nov14.

Umm, 70% don't blame the GOP. You might want to get your facts straight.

70% disapprove of the republicans
61% disapprove of the democrats
51% disapprove of Obama

The R went +7 in terms of disapproval from the last poll before the shutdown. Democrats went +5 in disapproval and Obama went +1.

This is different than saying who they blame (39% blame republicans, 30% blame democrats)

That's also a lot different than 1995 when Republicans were getting about 60% of the blame compared to 20% to Clinton.

Because of the republican shutdown there aren’t any ‘budget negotiations.’

So how did the "budget negotiations" go in the last year before the shutdown?

That would be the Obama/Democrat shutdown..Republican are perfectly willing to pass the budget if Democrats/Obama delayed Obamacare for a year so the multitude of kinks could be worked out..you should know this..sheesh.

 

[OriginalShroom]

Considering that out of 24 news stories about the shutdown, 22 of them blamed the Republicans, 0 the Democrats, and 2 blamed both, Are you surprised?


The Liberal Media is backing Obama and the Democrats all the way.

And the Republicans will continue on their death march blaming Obama the entire way. I love watching idiots commit political suicide. Obama is playing these loons to the hilt. The guy is just so much smarter than any of them it's unbelievable. Remember how they were all so certain that Romney was going to win in a landslide? LOL!! They still haven't learned, so they just keep doubling down on stupid. Thank you Lord for letting me see the light and walk away from those crazy Republicans.

The shutdown didn't affect the races in 1996. R's gained seats in the Senate and only lost 3 in the House.

Maintained a majority in both.

Don't feel bad Matthew, you're allowed to have your own opinion.


Soooooo you life in Portland, eh....it's kinda politically twisted in Portland, maybe you need to get out of town...

If only all Americans were either jaded or stupid........then the GOP could get a pass from the nation as a whole......as they are from our resident USMB nutters.

Give it a rest. These polls represent the feelings of the American people. Not the liberal media. Just accept that our elected republican officials are behaving like toddlers.

I find it odd that so many cons on this board are defending these corrupt politicians. It's as though they think admitting the faults of Republicans in congress somehow means they are admitting their ideology is weak too.

Seriously USMB cons/repubs/tea baggers: grow up.

ummmmm didn't the republicans acquiesce to the President's demands in 1996? If these present day republicans give in to the president's concerns, then I suppose it's possible that they won't be hurt that much either....
