The two major political parties remain unpopular in the U.S., with 56% of Americans viewing the Republican Party unfavorably and 58% saying the same of the Democratic Party.
Fifty-three percent of Americans believe the Republican Party will do a better job of keeping the country prosperous over the next few years, whereas 39% choose the Democratic Party.
GOP Holds Edge for Handling Americans' Top Worry The recent poll also finds the Republican Party leading the Democrats as the party more Americans choose as better able to handle whatever problem they name as the most important facing the country.
Forty-four percent say the Republican Party is better, while 36% name the Democratic Party and the rest say the parties are the same or have no preference.
Neither Party Has Leg Up on Overall Image Republicans have not been able to convert their advantages on these issues to a positive image of the party overall, or even to an advantage over the Democratic Party in favorability.
Independents Account for Parties' Negative Images, Republicans' Strengths Republican and Democratic partisans mostly view their own party favorably; however, they tend to be alone in that sentiment, as the majority of independents, as well as most members of the opposing party, view it unfavorably.
Barely a third of independents prefer the Democratic Party on these measures, while more than half choose the Republican Party.
