Funny how that little tidbit gets excluded.
Heck, there are several threads about it.

Among Independent voters 32% favorability for the dems and 31% for the GOP. It's not surprising that the free thinkers see that both parties about equally bad.
» Democratic Party Favorability
The sad thing in all this is that anyone would approve of the job the elected reps from either party is doing.

Republicans just really need to get the tea party out of the front of their ranks. I think their approval could improve if the Republican party stops being the tea party.

I'd say the democrat party would do better if they got the statists and collectivists out of their party, but that's like asking the non virgins to leave the maternity ward.

Republican Party Favorability Sinks to Record Low

The issue I have with this celebration is that Democrats have yet to provide a plan for governing America. Their mantra is "we suck, but they're crazy. Vote for us." Also, Democrats have a 43% favorable rating. That's nothing to brag about.

The record rating can be credited almost entirely to tireless efforts and unbelievable strategy of the great Senator Ted Cruz of the Great State of Texas.

[Is that tame enough to avoid deletion of this post?]

Problem is, it's the tea party who screams the loudest. And most of them are from ultra-safe districts. They feel no pressure to compromise or even engage in basic governing. They're nihilists. Frankly, I hope the GOP continues to embrace these lunatics and that it drags them into the gutter, permanently.

Actually, no. We're blaming stupid people.
