The big story from CNN on Monday was their latest CNN/ORC poll. Under the headline GOP, Boehner Take Shutdown Hit In New CNN Poll the network revealed 44% confidence in the President versus 31% in Republicans in Congress; 63% said John Boehner (R-OH) should be replaced as Speaker of the House; and only 38% of Americans believed GOP control of the House of Representatives was good for the country.
The above chart, however, was omitted by CNN in its coverage. It demonstrates that despite the shutdown, nothing has actually changed since December 2011. The underlying support for the party was not damaged because of the shutdown, destroying CNN's main point in pushing the poll in the first place.
