Poll: Republican Party approval ratings lowest in decades. We have a one word answer. RINOs.
The current survey finds that positive views of the GOP among Republicans have declined 18 percentage points since January, from 86% to 68%. Independents also view the Republican Party less favorably; 29% today, compared with 37% six months ago.

This is one of the very few polls I actually believe, except that it is probably much worse than the polls indicate.
I'm surprised the GOP approval numbers are that high. We voted for change in Washingtoon and nothing has changed except the faces of who gets to kiss Obamas ass first.
How can you tell who is who, underneath all that brown stuff?

It was bound to happen, these RINO turds talked a good fight, but when confronted folded up like a cheap suit. Next they'll start telling people how their supporters deserted them, when they really got dumped for being traitors.
The GOP elite have made the republican party the Whig party.
F**k em. There has been zero difference with putting The Turtle in charge of the senate. In fact, I think there is a good argument that less damage would have been done if the accused pederast, Harry Reid, were still in charge.
You're probably right. He kept Barky's budgets from being voted on. Imagine how much money he would have wasted if he got his way on that!
The RINO-infested GOP is too corrupt to save IMHO. It is a shame, but I don't see how the Tea Party or any other influence can reform them from within. They seem to enjoy playing the part of the cowardly lion opposition to the dems in exchange for Gerrymandered permanent jobs in DC. It is the reason they act to marginalize conservatives.
The Tea Party and real conservative opposition Americans would be better served by forming their own party and getting a few people elected to their own standards. With certified players at the table they could be power brokers to some degree. Not a majority, but with real power. The Greens in Europe have influence beyond their numbers. Conservatives can too on their own with a separate party. Remember, the GOP started and made the Whigs extinct.
Just as Reagan said about the Democrat Party: I didn't leave the Republican Party it left me.
The Republican Party, least popular among Republicans!
The GOP is nothing but three letters. Republicans went extinct when Reagan left office and are not coming back. The DNC and the RNC are one and the same and differ in name only. They are ALL on the same side, no matter who they are, or what they say, they are all working toward the same end. That end is the total control and subjugation of every last American Citizen to their will. No one, no matter what they say, in government is on the side of the People. No one. Everything has been compromised and corrupted. It's all gone or altered beyond recognition.
Republican are just democrats in cheap suits....
I could live 6 months on what the buttheads in the elected elite spend on that many suits.
To be fair, their suit ain't cheap.
I think Ted Cruz nailed the problem.
Cruz & Trump both. They are exactly the candidates that the GOP establishment does NOT want to see winning. Rand Paul might be in that group as well.
Exactly.
Trump called out the biggest enemy that Vietnam POWs ever had.
Cruz called out the GOP leadership.
Together, they can bring life back to the party and the people's wishes back to the forefront.
