Poll: Majority Says It's A Bad Thing That GOP Controls The House
Tom Kludt –
The latest CNN/ORC International
poll found that 54 percent of Americans think it's a bad thing that the
GOP is the majority party in the House, while only 38 percent think
it's a good thing. In December of last year, a CNN/ORC showed that 43
percent thought it was a bad thing that Republicans controlled the lower
chamber.
Boehner fares even worse in Monday's survey. Sixty-three percent want the Ohio Republican replaced as speaker, compared with 30 percent who would like him to continue holding the post.
It's the latest in a recent run of bleak polls for Republicans, who appear to have been damaged deeply by the recent budget and debt fights. Polls across the board showed that Americans largely blamed the GOP for the government shutdown, giving Democrats newfound hope of taking back the House in next year's midterms.
