Is it Romney's fault
For exposing the vacuous nullity of Paul Ryan to the public when he was chosen to be Mitt's VP candidate? Or was it the incomprehensible dog's breakfast of every bad RWNJ fiscal idea that he called a budget that is dragging down his approval to Rick Scott levels? Either way, the more the public learned about Lyin' Ryan the less they liked him, unlike the Very Serious People inside the Beltway.
As Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) budget advances toward the finishing line in the Republican-led House, a new Rasmussen poll shows Ryan flailing with a 15 point drop from August of 2012, when Mitt Romney picked him as his Vice Presidential candidate. Ryan’s personal favorability now mirrors the approval of his budget at 35%...Proof that when you look in the bag, people won't buy the pig in the poke.
Republicans support Ryan’s budget even as Ryan plunges in the polls — even Republicans think less of the Wisconsin Republican than they did in August of 2012. According to a new Rasmussen poll, Ryan’s favorability tanked to just 35% among all likely voters, which is a 15 point drop from his heyday as Mitt Romney’s running mate.
A whopping 54% view Paul Ryan unfavorably, with 12% undecided.
A separate Rasmussen poll determined that 35% favor Ryan’s budget plan with 49% opposed and 16% undecided. However, “It was described as a plan to balance the budget in 10 years without raising taxes but cutting spending by nearly $5 trillion in areas including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security but not defense.” That description is hopeful at best, since Ryan has still not done the math and his budget lacks specifics. There is no reason to assume his plan would balance the budget in ten years or even twenty years as it stands currently. Perhaps the Republicans are seeking solace in the numbers for Senator Patty Murray’s budget, which only got 19% favorability in the same poll.
