GOP seen as out of touch

More tough polling for Republicans, as 62 percent of the public says the GOP is out of touch with the American people, 56 percent think it is not open to change, and 52 percent think it is too extreme, according to a Pew Research Center poll. The GOP didn’t even fare that well with its own members, as 36 percent of Republicans surveyed said the party was out of touch. However, the GOP rated slightly higher than the Democratic Party (63 to 57 percent) on having strong principles.
