GOP Hits All Time Lows
Even though President Obama's overall ratings remain high, some in the
national media interpreted two new polls as showing the end of the
president's honeymoon period.

However, Steve Benen points out that the polls show the favorability
of the Republican party hitting new all time lows.

NYT/CBS Poll: "While Republicans have steadily increased their
criticism of Mr. Obama, particularly on the budget deficit, the poll
found that the Republican Party is viewed favorably by only 28% of
those polled, the lowest rating ever in a New York Times/CBS News
poll. In contrast, 57% said that they had a favorable view of the
Democratic Party."

WSJ/NBC poll: "25% hold a favorable view of the Republican Party,
which is an all-time low for it in the poll. 45% hold a favorable view
of the Democratic Party."
