Could it be that his RINO ways are catching up with him? Are the American people tired of the do nothing Congress (which would be fine if they truly were doing nothing)? Ryan's reign as a true swamp rat may be over. In a government run by the people where they have made their feelings known about certain things (regardless of what Trump promised), Ryan has only mired the president in Washington D.C. muck on things like healthcare, the wall and now tax reform.Forty percent of Americans hold an unfavorable view of Ryan, compared to only 22% who view him positively, according to the poll. The numbers represent a major decline in popularity since February, when Ryan’s net favorability was only one percentage point negative. The same drop in support is mirrored among Republican poll respondents, with net favorability falling from 49-points to 23 in the same period.
Ryan’s drop in popularity was more significant than that among the long-abysmally low rating for Congress as a whole. The percentage of those with a favorable view of congressional performance fell from 29 to 20 since February. The drop among Republicans was more significant, falling to a mere 31% from the high 40s.
When the obstructions keep being enabled by your own side, you have to really start wondering if they are on your side.Other legislative initiatives have stalled under Ryan’s leadership. He has repeatedly stated that tax reform will likely to be possible only after the precarious health care situation is untangled. At the moment, the House is embroiled in a struggle to pass a budget to keep the government running, with contention over the funding of President Donald Trump’s signature border wall apparently stalling this often routine measure.
