Down on the Democrats

Aaron Blake: “A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday had this stunning finding: While Americans were about evenly split in their views of the Republican Party (43% favorable to 45% unfavorable), negative views of the Democratic Party outpaced positive ones by 26 points — 31% favorable to 57% unfavorable.

“That’s not only a huge imbalance but also an unprecedented one.”

“In fact, Democrats’ 57% unfavorable rating is their highest ever in Quinnipiac’s polling, dating back to 2008, while the GOP’s 43% favorable rating is its highest ever.”
