Americans’ opinions of House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have worsened in recent months, a new poll says.

But while Democrats see Reid in a largely favorable light, a high number of Republicans have an unfavorable impression of Boehner. Forty percent of Republicans have an unfavorable view of Boehner, up 11 points from earlier this year and just 6 points lower than his favorability rating of 46 among Republicans.
While the GOP will almost certainly retain control of and gain seats in the House, Boehner has often struggled to unite the establishment and conservative wings of his party.
