Kevin Drum, in a post titled
Nobody Sane Likes the Republican Party Anymore:
I've been reading all day
that Republican favorability ratings plummeted in the latest Gallup
poll, but I didn't think much of it. After all, favorability ratings for
both parties have been pretty low for a while. But when I finally
clicked through to look at the actual numbers, it was a lot more dramatic than I thought:
Wow. Republican favorability ratings have been hovering within a few
points of 40 percent ever since 2006. Then Ted Cruz mounted his
filibuster, Republicans starting threatening to crash the economy, and
their favorability crashed ten points to 28 percent, the lowest in
history. As we all know, the Crazification Factor is 27 percent, which means that literally nobody sane approves of the Republican Party any longer.
This demonstrates a surprising amount of common sense among average Americans. In a way, I'm heartened.
This really is amazing. I almost hope they keep it up.
