The Republican Party's Pretty Unpopular Right Now

During the U.S. government shut-down, a Gallup poll showed that the Republican party is now less popular than they have been in the history of Gallup polls.



That's since 1992, and it's even worse than the Bush-era in 1999; then they at least had 31% of the American population viewing the party favorably.



Currently, it's 28%.



Interestingly, this wasn't partisan. In fact, this poll shows that Republicans themselves are twice as likely to look at their own party unfavorably. Meaning, come election time there may be a massive shift in who Republicans will be voting for.
