More than half of Americans believe it's bad for the country that the Republican Party controls the House of Representatives, according to a new poll.
The CNN/ ORC International survey — conducted Oct. 18-20, after the end of the partial government shutdown — found that 54 percent of those surveyed think it's a bad thing that the GOP controls the House, up 11 points since the same poll in December.
Just 38 percent say Republican control is a good thing, a 13-point decrease from the end of last year.
This is the first time since Republicans won back control of the House in 2010 that a majority believes GOP control of the chamber is a bad thing.
