Poll Finds 45% Voters Say Democrats Too Radical Nationwide

Recent polling reveals significant challenges for the Democratic Party amid President Donald Trump's second term, with a plurality of voters perceiving the party as too radical. The I&I/TIPP Insights poll shows 45% of voters, including 40% of independents and over 20% of Democrats themselves, view the party as veering too far left, influenced in part by figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani. A strong 72% of respondents express a preference for Democrats to cooperate with President Trump on legislation rather than resist outright. Additionally, a Quinnipiac poll highlights disapproval of Democratic congressional performance, with only 19% approval overall and even a majority of Democrat voters expressing dissatisfaction. This internal strife and perceived radicalism have led to low favorability ratings and concerns about the party's future electoral prospects. The data suggest that the Democrats' resistance strategy may be alienating both their base and the broader electorate, complicating their path forward.
