Oct. 21 (UPI) -- A new Gallup Poll released Tuesday indicates that neither major U.S. political party dominates in trust or favorability.
The latest results in Washington-based Gallup's annual governance poll conducted September 2-16 found that U.S. voters feel the Republican Party lost its edge in key areas it's typically known for as the shutdown in the Republican-controlled federal government lingers on for its 21st day.
Republicans experienced a three-point dip to 40% in favorability by U.S. adults with Democrats at a current 37% down from 42%.
According to Gallup, the weaker position by Republicans was mainly the result of fewer Americans than a year ago preferring the GOP for its specific roles.
