Debate Of Equals? GOP Hits All Time Lows

As the media try to plant the ending of Obama's honeymoon, "is it waning?", and the constant underestimation of his skills and vision, just remember:
NYT/CBS Poll: "While Republicans have steadily increased their criticism of Mr. Obama, particularly on the budget deficit, the poll found that the Republican Party is viewed favorably by only 28% of those polled, the lowest rating ever in a New York Times/CBS News poll. In contrast, 57% said that they had a favorable view of the Democratic Party."
and
WSJ/NBC poll: "25% hold a favorable view of the Republican Party, which is an all-time low for it in the poll. 45% hold a favorable view of the Democratic Party."
The GOP are hitting all-time lows yet the media would love to position everyone as equals. These are polls and they are about politicians, I get that, but they do echo how the GOP are wondering deeper into the political wilderness and have nothing but pessimism to offer.

So basically, a quarter of Americans remain in abject denial and the rest of us are looking for results from Obama and the Democrats.
