BUFFALO, NY -- A recent poll among Americans is indicating that the Republican Primary is no longer "funny" and is getting dangerously close to becoming "depressing".  Up to now, many Americans have watched the primary with delight, laughing and smiling over ridiculous statements made by most of the contenders.

Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain were gaffe machines and for a while, Americans found it funny.  However, there is a negative trend occuring with the primary and many Americans are now finding the race between Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum terribly "unfunny" and bordering on depressing.

Responders were asked on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being Ishtar and 5 being Spaceballs, how funny do you find the primary now.   Over 35% of Americans said they found the Republican primary less funny than Ishtar now and 21% made references to Schindler's List.
