A new Quinnipiac Poll has revealed that disapproval of Congressional Republicans has reached a record high and voters will blame the GOP if the government shuts down.

According to the Quinnipiac poll, “Voters disapprove 81 – 12 percent of the way Republicans in Congress are doing their job and give the Republican Party a negative 31 – 58 percent favorability.” Democrats are also in negative territory, but they are more than twice as popular as Republicans in Congress (27% approval), and a net 17 points better than the Republican Party (40%-50% approval/disapproval).

The Congressional Republican disapproval rating today is 14 points higher (88%) today than when they shut the government down in October 2013 (74%). Republicans have managed to register their lowest approval rating since in since the question was first asked in February 2009. The previous low for Congressional Republicans was 76% disapproval in January 2014.

Boehner and McConnell could drive their party even deeper into the hole if they don’t prevent a government shutdown at the end of September. The Quinnipiac poll found that by a margin of 41%-33% Republicans will be blamed if the government shuts down. Independents will blame Republicans 37%-33%.

I know that is what this says will happen, I will believe it when I see it.

Same crap, same MSM BS - the only thing that's changed are the dates on the calendar.
Be careful what you believe coming out of MSM. They Want you to Relax about this and Many other issues so "we" don't look at Anything of substance.
Gossip and the irrelevant, imo- battles between What She/He Said vs what She/He Said, instead.

3. What the voting wingnuts don't get is that even though they have control

of house and senate - you have to have a veto-proof majority.

so in essence -they haven't had any power to pass their crazy agenda in many years.

thank god.
