Republicans Lose Ground in National Polls Amid Shutdown Debate
A Wall Street Journal NBC News survey shows only 24 percent favorable to the GOP, an all time low, with voters blaming Republicans more than Obama for the shutdown. Gallup and Washington Post polls also show deep GOP unpopularity as the debt ceiling standoff continues. Democrats face lagging favorable numbers but benefit from the GOP’s weak standing. The piece notes the historical contrast and cites the Land Grant College Act as a Republican policy milestone under Lincoln.
