Pollgasm: Everyone Hates The Republicans
Even in the South -- albeit by a narrow margin, but still.
Republicans (South)
Favorable - 45
Unfavorable - 48
Republicans (Overall)
Favorable - 31
Unfavorable - 61
By way of contrast, the Democratic Party is enjoying a comfy 56 favorable, 37 unfavorable spread.

SNL had a pretty good opening skit last night regarding their stupidity.

I don't know, how trustworthy are those Research 2000 polls? I remember seeing some pretty rose-colored results out of them during the primaries and the general election, don't their numbers skew Left a tiddle? And when did we start calling 56% "comfy"? I'm not happy with anything sub-60.

Oh, well then, huzzah!
Still, 56% is teh suck. Why can't President Obama close the deal?

56 is really great considering the Republican disapproval number is HIGHER than that.

More people disapprove of Republicans than approve of Democrats.
This implies that some number disapproves of both parties.
61% unfavorable is rather scathing.
58% favorable is pretty comfortable.
It's far worse to have 6 out of 10 saying that you suck than to have 6 out of 10 saying you don't suck.
I don't know if this helped at all. It's the implications in the statistics.
You don't have to do much to be favorable, but getting an unfavorable means you have pissed people off.
