Voters Sour on the Republican Party
First Read says a big finding from the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll is that the Republican Party's honeymoon after taking control of Congress is more than over. 

"Consider: Congress' approval rating is a dismal 18%, down four points from last month; it's not been this low since March 2010 (healthcare month) The GOP's fav/unfav is 30% to 44%, compared with the Democratic Party's 38% to 39% score. What's more, only 10% of respondents have a 'great deal' or 'quite a bit' of confidence in Congress, and majorities of ALL respondents (including Republicans) believe the House GOP has not brought much change. And the number thinking the GOP proposal to overhaul Medicare is a bad idea has increased nine points since April to 31%; just 22% believe it's a good idea. The one piece of non-bad news for Republicans in the poll: They're tied on the congressional ballot with Democrats."
