Poll: 50 percent say GOP majority is bad

Poll: 50 percent say GOP majority is bad

"SNIP......................

The poll finds that 50 percent of adults says Republican control of the House and Senate will be bad for the country, compared to 44 percent who says it will be good.

Fifty-two percent says there will be more gridlock with a Republican Congress, while just 9 percent says there will be less. Thirty-seven percent says there will be no difference.

The public has a more negative view of Republican gains this November than it did of other recent midterm elections. A majority, 52 percent, thought it was good for the country when Republicans took over the House in 2010. An even larger percentage, 67 percent, thought it was good for the country when Democrats took over Congress in 2006 amid the unpopularity of President George W. Bush.

The country appears frustrated with both congressional Republicans and President Obama when it comes to gridlock, but more so with Republicans.

They still have both chambers.

If people thought it was such a bad idea they would have voted against it. But they didn't and now we 're all stuck with this horseshit.
