A new survey shows that the Cheney and Sotomayor debates threaten to further Isolate the GOP. President Obama's job approval stands at 57 percent among likely voters, virtually unchanged over the last four months and just a point off his all-time high. But Cheney's persistent visibility does not appear to be helping matters for the Republicans. With a 51 percent unfavorable rating, the former vice president is at his lowest level of popularity since Democracy Corps first measured it in 1999.
Cheney is a deeply divisive figure, popular only with the conservative base of the Republican Party but unpopular with everyone else, including independents and moderate Republicans. In fact, President Obama (+5) is more popular with moderate Republicans than Cheney.
