‘Never Seen Anything Like This’: Crucial Voter Groups Fleeing Democrats, Says Stunned Fmr Clinton Pollster
Independent Journal Review ^

Posted on 03/21/2025 11:03:17 PM PDT by Red Badger

Former Clinton pollster Mark Penn said Friday on Fox News that crucial voter groups are fleeing the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party’s favorability rating plummeted to a new low of 29%, according to a CNN/SSRS poll conducted from March 6-9. During an appearance on “Hannity,” Penn said he was shocked at the current state of the Democratic Party and said he’s never seen its rating this low in decades.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in over 40 years of polling. The Democratic Party ratings have collapsed from a 47% favorable down to 29, 27 in some of these polls, and that’s an incredible loss of moderate, working-class voters,” Penn said.

Penn said that the party seems to be shrinking to a base composed primarily of left-wing advocates like Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who have been actively promoting the Democratic platform across the country.

“Those [are the] kinds of voters that the Democratic Party needs to win elections, and it’s being shrunk to a base of left-wing advocates like Bernie Sanders and AOC who were touring the country carrying the Democratic banner. That’s not helping,” Penn added.

A group of national Democratic organizations, including the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Association of State Democratic Committees, initiated the “People’s Town Halls” tour last Friday in Iowa, targeting Republican-controlled districts throughout the U.S. This campaign follows the Democratic Party’s substantial losses in the 2024 elections, where Republicans captured the White House and majorities in both chambers of Congress.

Democrats have formed a resistance to oppose President Donald Trump’s policies, specifically targeting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Elon Musk, which has reduced federal agency workforces. The creation of DOGE, which aims to cut government expenditures, has ignited fierce Democratic Party resistance, but it has also garnered significant support from the American populace.

In the House, Ocasio-Cortez has attacked the Trump-endorsed government spending bill, calling it a “slush fund” for Trump and Musk on social media. Meanwhile, Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman slammed his party’s resistance to the bill, dismissing it as “total theater.”

I’ve spent a good part of my life avoiding Democrat party BS.
That means I have a reasonable income, I live in an island paradise, that has adequate medical care.
Far better than Democrat voters that live in rat and crime filled, city subsidized housing.
Any one of you could do as I did, Dependent on yourselves
and not some Democrat government.
Forgive me for my lack of compassion.
Y’all sleep in the bed you made.

Which continues to go to show how out of touch with mainstream America the democrat party continues to be.

They aren't looking at this asking themselves why they're continuing to lose support and stopping to realize that people don't like taxes, waste, and graft among the government that is robbing us of our hard earned money. Instead, idiots like Schumer mock people for wanting to keep the money they worked hard to earn.

Minorities are leaving too. The democrat party seems to be made up of White liberal elites, angry black women and sexual weirdos.

New low at 29%? I’ve seen it as low as 23%.

That still puts him ahead of 98% of the DNC membership.

So far, it seems very clear that they are doubling down on stupid, and are incapable of admitting that they're wrong, or that they aren't supporting what the American people want. 2026 could easily see a 40-60 seat gain in the House. If we are smart, we should be working our tails off to Primary out as many RINO's as humanly possible, and replace them with actual Limited Government Conservatives. Imagine an extra 100 Hawleys, Cottons, Tubervilles, etc all at once. Then Congress might FINALLY start enacting some of Pres Trump's initiatives, instead of sitting around and watching like cowards, the way that the RNC is doing currently.

Personally, I'm hoping that the Dems continue to think it is their branding, and not their positions, for the next 4-5 election cycles.

The democrat party is out on the fringe and not mainstream anymore. These town halls should be about them listening to voters and not attacking the other party. No, they still don’t get it. They will not consider that they are the problem, not Donald Trump, not Republicans. It’s themselves.

How much of that 47% will be actual votes, and how much will be made-up $*** that shows up after midnight?

Yes, Fetterman, like Cuellar in TX, have rhetoric at times very much at odds with their full congressional voting records.

If CNN says the favorability rating is down to 29%, then the truth would be closer to 20%.

With their absolute best out front, there is no way they can do better. By absolute best, I mean Crockett, AOC, Sanders, Hogg and the absolute liars at CNN, NYT, MSNBC and others. Add to this the mass corruption being exposed by DOGE and the corrupt judges fighting MAGA. It’s really quite surreal what they are doing to themselves. The communist playbook is no longer working.
