To previous lows...

A new CNN/Opinion Research poll finds the Republican Party's favorable
rating is at lowest level in at least a decade. Just 36% of those
questioned say they have a favorable opinion of the GOP, with 54%
viewing the party negatively.

In contrast, 53% have a positive opinion of the Democratic Party, with
41% holding an unfavorable view.

Said pollster Keating Holland: "The Republican party may still be
battling the legacy left to them by George W. Bush. They have also
spent a lot of time in 2009 working against Democratic proposals. That
hasn't left them a lot of time so far this year to present a positive,
post-Bush message."

CNN is getting smart. They poll only Democrats now. Of course, the
Democrats see this as quite appropriate.
