Republican Party Favorability Highest in Seven Years

The democrats have been acting like spoiled children who didn't get their way since Trump was elected and their constant temper tantrum is being rejected by the American people. This latest Kavanaugh destruction campaign will not go down well either and is going to blow up in their faces in the coming election. It's going to be fun to watch all the long faces in the media as there is another republican sweep.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Forty-five percent of Americans now have a favorable view of the Republican Party, a nine-point gain from last September's 36%. It is the party's most positive image since it registered 47% in January 2011, shortly after taking control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections. Forty-four percent give the Democratic Party a favorable rating.
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."

You left out the conclusion. "Meanwhile, Democrats have been buoyed by numerous projections that they will make major gains in November, which could lead to a result similar to what Republicans experienced in 2010, when they scored a big election victory at a time when favorable views of both parties were about the same."

Nationally, the Dems are polling quite well.

I left out the editorial in favor of the hard numbers. Those numbers show the American people in general and especially the much valued independents are leaning right. The hard core left is loving the temper tantrums and yes they are bouyed by them but the rest of the country is sick of this childish behavior.

 

You left out the contradiction to you opinion. The hard numbers "show the American people in generally and especially" the independents are polling exceptionally well for the Dems. That is why the GOP is behind in the generic ballot. America will no longer reward or tolerate the far right's crying and "childish behavior." That is over.

 

Guess you missed this the first time.

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."

 

I don't think you actually read it or understood it correctly. Here it is again:

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."


If the GOP remains in control, we will have the best and most productive government we have had in many many years.

 

well 538 is giving the Dems a 4 in 5 chance of retaking the house (up from 4 out of 5 back in July/Aug) and it's only getting better for them. I'd say the Dems retake the house and the Rs hold the senate. No supermajorities in either and therefore a 2 year hiatus on most major stuff. It's why the Dems are doing everything they can to delay the Kavanaugh confirmation till then.

 

buckybadger does not get that the gallup poll is an outlier, the exception that proves the rule that the dems are doing very well.

He also ignored the conclusion, "The hard numbers "show the American people in generally and especially" the independents are polling exceptionally well for the Dems. That is why the GOP is behind in the generic ballot. America will no longer reward or tolerate the far right's crying and "childish behavior."

 

Hillary was given a 98% chance to win the election in 2016.

Democrats are promising tax hikes and to tear down all the progress Trump has made. Extreme TDS on the far left and by a lot of its followers. I have faith in the GOP to keep us on the right track.

 

FYI, if you reply with a quote, people will get a notification that you replied to them. If you fail to do so, you're just hoping they stumble upon your comment. The threads fill up fast so you may consider doing so.

Or not, just a suggestion. I wasn't sure if you knew how...

 

2016 and the EV have nothing to with this election, which is a referendum on a failing Trump administration.

Dems have said nothing at all, like you indicate, and let's hope they go after the Trump programs.

That's what America wants.

 

I agree - the Left's scumbaggery involving the Kavanaugh nomination could blow up in their faces. The only edge Democrats had going into November was the motivation of their hate-filled base, but in their repulsive zeal to destroy the Supreme Court nominee they've managed to fire up the their opponents' base. It's also been said that the general public doesn't pay much attention to politics until after Labor Day and I can't help but believe that it will be unimpressed, at best, with the repugnant spectacle that Democrats and their supporters are putting on right now. Between that and most particularly the outstanding economic numbers we've seen this year I think things are looking a lot better for Republicans than they did a year ago.

 

The national polls were very accurate in terms of the numbers voted (remember, she won the popular vote but lost the electoral college). It was the state and local polls that got increasingly fuzzy.

Trump won by a margin of 160,000 votes spread across 5 swing states.

 

And canada

All the canadians voted for hillary I assume

 

I don't doubt the OP at all. It might be the most favorable in seven years but it's still at the bottom of the barrel.

 

She won the popular vote due to California and most likely a whole lot of voter fraud. Mostly California though. One state does not make our Union.

 

Only to see the fun that Trudeau and Bill could get up to. You can keep her though. Yeck.

Riiight. 'Voter Fraud'. The nebulous fall back position that requires no proof.

And yeah, if Trump lost Texas, Hillary would have won. One state does not a union make. Why does Texas votes count more then Californias?

Heck, take any state out of either equation and the other would win.

 

Not quite - Democrats are occupying the bottom of the barrel...

...and that's not where a party that has been bleating and babbling about a "Blue Wave" wants to be heading into the month before the elections.

 

Really? And have you not being paying attention the last 2 weeks? This is starting to bite the dems in the ass

 

Why do people keep bring up the popular vote when it is the EC that determines the President? It's stupid.

 

Yea do that adn watch the Dems go down in a ball of flames

 

Because we are talking about the validity of the polls at the time. Not about whether she should have 'won' or not. I personally think that you can't use majority rule to elect a countries leader (or any politician). I think the EC needs updating in terms of votes per population (neither smaller states nor larger states should get more of a say in the process simply due to their size or lack of size) but I prefer it to simple 50% +1

 

. . . because the popular vote went to HRC, the Trumpers pretend the EV of a 77K majority was sweeping.

 

I think people do this when they know they have been bested in debate and want to make some lame ass response they hope you don't see but make it look like they didn't back down.

 

The funny part is it is the very way the are delaying the Kavanaugh nomination that will keep them from winning the majority they so desperately want.
