Obama Gets Boost as Palin Departure Deepens Republican Disarray
July 6 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama’s honeymoon with the public, like those of previous presidents, is waning after almost six months in office. He still enjoys one asset most others lacked: an opposition party in disarray.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s surprise resignation July 3 was only the latest Republican headache involving some of the party’s potential stars. While Obama’s job approval, hovering around 60 percent, has dipped, ratings for the Republican Party have nosedived.
According to Gallup polling, just 34 percent of Americans view the party favorably. Even among Republicans, 38 percent have an unfavorable view of their party and almost half can’t name an individual who speaks for it. And those polls were conducted before Palin resigned and two other Republicans, Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Senator John Ensign of Nevada, acknowledged having extramarital affairs.
“We’re in a really difficult period, and it’s going to take some time to get out of it,” Republican strategist John Weaver said in an interview yesterday. “It could take a generation or two, quite frankly.”
The party’s fortunes may be even bleaker than after the Watergate scandal that brought down former President Richard Nixon and during the Great Depression after Herbert Hoover’s presidency, Weaver said.

Her move “just leaves you weaker,” said Eddie Mahe, a Republican strategist who said the party needs new stars. “The hope has to be that there’s some folks out there somewhere who are contemplating getting involved in public life.”
Other developments compounding the party’s woes have been Republican National Chairman Michael Steele’s apology to radio show host Rush Limbaugh in March after Steele dismissed the commentator as an “entertainer,” Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter’s defection in April to the Democrats and Norm Coleman’s defeat last week after a lengthy Minnesota Senate recount and court fight.
