The Republicans

The Republicans do not necessarily profit from Obama's woes. In just about every poll that asks the question, the public trusts Obama more than congressional Republicans on most key issues. A Washington Post/ABC News poll in mid-November said Americans trusted Democrats in general more than Republicans by 47 percent to 31 percent to do a better job of coping with the main problems the country will face over the next few years.

A Quinnipiac poll last month found 58 percent disapprove of the way congressional Republicans are doing their job, 53 percent had an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party, and 45 percent trusted Obama more to handle the health care issue. (Thirty-six percent said they trusted the Republicans more.)

The Republicans also have some issues to resolve within their own party. A Washington Post poll of Republicans found that just 49 percent believe GOP leaders are taking the party in the right direction while 42 percent say they are not. That contrasts with 2005, when 76 percent said the GOP was headed in the right direction and 23 percent said it was not. The poll also listed the words used most often by Republicans to describe the party. They are, in order, "conservative" followed more distantly by "weak," "disorganized," "leaderless" and "Palin."
