Democratic Party Hits Record Low Approval at 29%

Recent polling reveals a significant decline in the Democratic Party's favorability, with only 29% of Americans viewing the party positively according to CNN and 27% per NBC News, marking record lows for both outlets. A staggering 54% of respondents hold an unfavorable view of the party, alongside a notable 38% claiming 'very negative' feelings, the highest since at least 2010. This discontent appears to stem from a perceived lack of effective opposition to President Donald Trump, with many Democrats expressing a desire for their leaders to adopt a more combative stance rather than seek bipartisanship. Polling data indicates that even within their own ranks, nearly 20% of Democratic voters feel disconnected from the party's current direction. Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt emphasized that the party is not in need of a rebrand but rather a complete reboot to regain voter trust. The political landscape presents a challenging scenario for Democrats as they grapple with internal discord and declining public support.
