Good news: 71% Shun House GOP's tactics

Unfortunately for Republicans, a new CBS poll finds that 71% disapprove of their handling of the debt crisis.  Equality stark is their approval rating on the question of the national debt, which has stooped to a low 21%

 

Granted, House Democrats also face a high level of disapproval, but they do have 10% greater support than their GOP counterparts.  Perhaps the best news in all of this is that while all parties involved have high disapproval numbers, the President's approval rating is more than double that of House Republicans, and is nearly as high as his disapproval rating.

For the country as a whole, the debt discussion gridlock is a negative without question.  That said, the President standing out so far ahead of his Republican opposition speaks volumes about his tact and conciliatory approach, and certainly bodes well for 2012.
