The Democrats are at about their March levels, while GOP ratings have taken a dive.

Maybe there is some hope for this country after all.

Of course people are mad about the debt ceiling crisis, but why didn't the democratic party vote 800 plus days ago.. for the very reasons you have listed, it was a political ploy, which I think really backfied on the dems......
The rating would have been left as is, if he tough cuts had been made, as the Tea Party had insisted on.
Oh, they're coming......
