In another sign that this year's relentless cascade of confrontations was denting the Republican Party image, 32 percent said the GOP's highest priority was "causing political problems for President Obama." By contrast, 19 percent said Democrats' highest priority was "causing political problems for Republicans in Congress."

The difference was explained partly because Democrats were more likely to see political gain as the GOP's top goal than vice versa. (Exactly half of Democrats said the GOP was focused primarily on causing problems for their party, while only 34 percent of Republicans tagged that as the highest priority for Washington Democrats.) But more independents saw Republicans (31 percent) than Democrats (22 percent) motivated primarily by causing political difficulties for the other side.

The United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, surveyed 1,005 adults by landline and cell phone from Sept. 25-29. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. The survey was completed just before the stalemate between the parties tipped the government into shutdown Monday night.

After causing problems for Obama, respondents ranked the GOP's priorities as reducing government debt (20 percent); creating more jobs (14 percent); reducing health care costs (13 percent); fixing the immigration system (6 percent); and reducing gun violence (4 percent).

If this is so bad for the Repubs, why the Dhimmicrats so upset?

Good. That's why we put them there.

After the Dems rammed Obamacare down our throats, America responded by giving the House majority, numerous Senate seats, and several key state Governor seats (including VA) to the Republicans. Since there is ZERO chance of any good legislation being signed at this time, their job is to block Obama at every turn. We didn't put them there to compromise or make any deals with you fuckers. Their job is simply to stay in a holding pattern and block everything the Dems try to do until somebody gets elected president who isn't a complete shithead.

Of course the Repubs will eventually let us (fiscal conservatives) down, they usually do. Boehner is a coward and will fold sooner rather than later.

Fixed it for ya & you KNOW that's right!

LoLz!

Congress voted and passed Obamacare. Republicans were included in the vote.

Romney ran on the platform of repealing Obamacare the first day he got in office.

The American public didn't want Romney, they want Obama.

Republicans can keep kicking rocks and stomping their feet. All that is doing is destroying their image more.

Add the fact that the only reason the Gov't is shut down is because Republicans are abusing the power of House Speakership. They don't have the majority in the House to keep the government shut down.

What's happened here is the gerrymandered districts Representatives have threatened to oppose their coward of a Speaker and throw him out if he doesn't obey the whims of them as a minority.

He bowed and now the Republicans that could lose their seats in the House and Senate are in jeopardy.

You have some dumb ass Tea Party Republicans that can shift the balance of power in the House. They are threatening their own Party with that unless their party threatens the country with a shut down.

No, Harry "shit for brains" Reid could pass the separate CRs. Or, god forbid, passed ANY budget over the past 5 years.

Fact: The Senate passed a budget on March 23, 2013. The GOP-tard Hosue has refused to negociate a federal budget 18 times in the past six moths.
