Fifty-four percent of those surveyed also say it's a bad thing that Republicans control the House.
As anger toward the Republican Party grows, a majority of Americans say a GOP-controlled House is bad for the country and want Speaker John Boehner replaced, according to a new poll out Monday.
Fifty-four percent of those surveyed say it is a bad thing that Republicans control the House, up 11 percentage points since December 2012, while 38 percent say it is a good thing, the CNN/ORC poll shows. This is the first time a majority is unhappy with the GOP controlling the House since the party gained control of the chamber in the 2010 midterm elections.
Sixty-three percent of respondents also say Boehner should go, a view expressed by nearly half of those within his own party. Only 30 percent support his leadership, the poll showed.
These numbers follow a disastrous week for the Republican Party that saw all-time lows in approval ratings during the government shutdown.
