UPDATED: Because Politico is really just a GOP bulletin board

You can't make this stuff up.
Today's Politico headline:
A Republican comeback?
From last week's New York Times/CBS News 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 percent of those polled, the lowest rating ever in a New York Times/CBS News poll. In contrast, 57 percent said that they had a favorable view of the Democratic Party.
From this week's Washington Post/ABC News poll:
The state of the Republican Party remains grim. Just 22 percent of those surveyed identified themselves as Republicans, near April's decades-long low point. Thirty-six percent said they have a favorable impression of the GOP, and 56 percent said they have an unfavorable impression. (Fifty-three percent said they have a favorable view of the Democratic Party.)
Yep, the GOP has Dems right where they want them.
Virtually anything written that ends in a question is a lazy journalist.
If you don't know the answer to the "question"; it's not NEWS
At least he's not a pedophile. So, some in the GOP are calling this a victory, and maybe a first indication of GOP comeback.
Yup, things the GOP is on a roll!
