The
fallout from the Republican shutdown continues, this time according to a new CNN/ORC International poll:
According to the survey, 54% say it's a bad thing that the GOP controls the House, up 11 points from last December, soon after the 2012 elections when the Republicans kept control of the chamber. Only 38% say it's a good thing the GOP controls the House, a 13-point dive from the end of last year.
This is the first time since the Republicans won back control of the House in the 2010 elections that a majority say their control of the chamber is bad for the country.
There's no word on what America thinks about Ted Cruz being in control of the chamber.
And with Republicans in the House having pledged their fealty to Speaker of the House John Boehner in the wake of their shutdown:
And the CNN/ORC International survey also indicates that more than six in 10 Americans say that Speaker of the House John Boehner should be replaced.
... proving once again that Republicans are out of touch with most Americans.
