RNC Chair Blames GOP's Unpopularity On Obama

[Lakhota]

A new CNN/Opinion Research poll released today finds Republicans’ popularity badly bruised by the bitter debt ceiling debate, with the GOP’s unfavorable ratings climbing to an all-time high of 59 percent. The party’s favorable ratings, meanwhile, dropped eight points over the past month to just 33 percent. “The Democratic party, which had a favorable rating just a couple of points higher than the GOP in July, now has a 14-point advantage over the Republican party,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

The network brought on RNC Chairman Reince Priebus this afternoon to respond to numbers. While saying he hadn’t studied poll in depth, Priebus embarked on stunningly brazen spin, blaming the drop in Republicans’ approval on President Obama. Despite host Brooke Baldwin’s repeated attempts to get Priebus to address the GOP’s unpopularity, the chairman kept going back to Obama:

LOL So if I only poll democrats it becomes accurate. Heavy use of landlines speaks to one group of people in todays reality.

Republicans historically have a hard time accepting responsibility. Sad, but true.

Priebus embarked on stunningly brazen spin, blaming the drop in Republicans’ approval on President Obama.

It seems republicanism is a form of mental illness.

Otherwise it’s telling and disturbing the extent to which the GOP refuses to accept responsibility for anything.

It’s a bizarre form of cowardice.

dude, they're linking to a CNN article they had nothing to do with. what you're saying is like saying i won't believe a study in scientific american because i found about it from an article newsmax wrote about it. that's in-your-face thick, man. pavlovian. you're just seeing the words "think progress" and salivating.

dude, you ever see anyone post shit from NewsMax? If you think Thinkprogress is some site for factual information you are sadly mistaken.

and I don't care about a Cnn poll, the only one I care about is the Obama's numbers and his are falling daily, so the way I see it, it should be THE DEMOCRATS and you lefties who should be worried.

Why wouldn't it be true? Don't you watch the news?

The Rule-or-Ruin Republicans

Progressives shouldn’t hesitate to blame the Tea Party for America’s debt downgrade. As Paul Begala explains, it’s good politics, but it also has the virtue of being true.
