CNN’s poll finds that more than half of political independents are either dissatisfied with or indifferent to both political parties – but different blocs of independents hold notably different attitudes.

And within the parties, people are more vehement in their dislike of the opposition than in their enthusiasm for their own party. The Democratic Party last saw positive ratings from a solid majority of the country in February 2009, while the Republican Party last saw a favorability rating of 55% or higher in February 2005.

It’s been 23 years since Americans gave both parties ratings that were broadly positive at the same time.

    Jordy, you’re a frozen in time “progressive” white male genx who has had most of his life handed to him, despite your tough-love-bootstraps attitude. You’re not gonna see 10 years from now 💔 which has made you cold and bitter to the suffering of others. You just think today is another day and that everyone is just overreacting about all this fascism stuff.

      LOL - I haven’t had jack handed to me. I worked for all of it. And no, I don’t think people are over-reacting to fascism, they are reacting in ways that are completely ineffective.

        Your entire life is laid out on google. Everything is public information. I very much disagree that you’ve had it rough.
