A brand new poll from Gallup indicates that public approval of the Republican Party is at an all-time low. Worse yet, Americans now give the GOP the highest disapproval rating since Gallup began measuring that number over fifteen years ago.
When asked if they have a favorable or an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party, only 34% indicated their approval while a stunning 61% of those surveyed said they disapprove of the GOP.
These numbers represent a significant deterioration in the party's position from a similar survey conducted as recently as mid-October. That poll found that the Republicans' approval rating was 40% and its disapproval mark was 53%. Bad, meet worse.
The survey, released today, was conducted November 13-16. The numbers present a daunting challenge for Republican leaders trying to figure out how to recover and rebuild from their huge losses in the general election less than three weeks ago.
Clearly, it won't be an easy task.
