On Friday, former Clinton pollster Mark Penn told Fox News host Sean Hannity that key voter groups are fleeing the Democratic Party. He says the Democrat Party is in ruins.
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 says the Democrat Party needs those voters to win. He added that AOC and Bernie Sanders carrying the Democrat banner is not helping.
Democrats are facing the worst ratings in decades in my polls and others, dropping to as low as 29% favorability in the CNN poll, down from 62% in 2008. The reasons are pretty clear — after the 2024 election, voters reevaluated the job that President Joe Biden did and began scratching their heads at the actions and positions of Democrats in Congress. Unless there is a major reset, I expect they will have an unexpected wipeout in next year’s midterm elections.
Democrats once supported a balanced budget, tough immigration policies, and smaller government. That was in the 1990s and its history.
Black Lives Matter and Donald Trump’s election pushed Democrats toward the far left on cultural and economic issues as a form of resistance.
Biden portrayed himself as a moderate but signed up for the extreme far-left agenda: no border wall, flooding the country with illegals, transgenderism, DEI, censorship of speech, and the COVID coverup and lockdowns.
Biden went from the author of the crime bill to the signer of thousands of pardons to criminals.
As president, Biden furiously appointed left-wing judges and made left-oriented appointments to the agencies.
Biden’s Schizoid foreign policy was to back Ukraine but hold it back; fund Gaza and Israel.
He started forgiving college loans at everyone else’s expense.
He remade the Democratic Party from a working-class and middle-class party to a coalition of elites and Black voters. Those making over $100,000 a year and college-educated voters backed Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, as well as 86% of Black voters. But those making between $30,000 and $100, 000 a year now voted for Trump. And Hispanic voters made a major move in 2024, shifting by about 20 points into the Republican column as they continue to grow as an even larger share of the electorate than Black voters. Their Democratic margin shrunk from 23 points to 4 points.
Now we have inflation, deficits, an open border, out-of-control crime, and nothing good. All they do is resist. They don’t stand for anything. First, they only wanted EVs, but now they are destroying them.
They are wrong on every issue. Moderates are not allowed in the party. It’s so far-left, it’s gone.
Mark Penn is waiting for the next Bill Clinton.
Just let the Democrat party die as it is so old and mentally sick.
Yes! Ruins! Down in flames! More! More!
The Communist Party basstids were/are hellbent on destroying our nation as we know it. The corrupt SOBs have done everything in their power to destoy us and our country.
They deserve every single thing coming their way, and then some....BIG TIME.
They should be completely swept into the dust bin of history...NEVER to return.

The Siren Song of Communism is extremely addictive to those who have nothing and blame others for their plight.............
Mark Penn
....a slow learner?
....In running for Captain Obvious Annual 2025 Trophy?
....Looking for something to write about the demonkkkraps?
If it weren’t for the legacy media and leftist judiciary, unconditional support and breathing some oxygen into the party’s lungs, it would be dead by now. No way Penn’s party legitimately won the number of House and Senate seats. Lots of down ballot cheating.
OK, this is all great news...but SOME dems aren’t stupid....some come up with some pretty devious ideas.
Like getting a decent looking, likeable hick to come out of nowhere....THEN get some #######e with a god complex to run on a third party ticket..like...ross perot.
Then grab on to one thing that the R president did wrong or not fully right and defeat him, even as he had 90 percent approval rating not that far from the election.
I KNOW. Trump is incredibly great at avoiding those pitfalls...AND he wont be running again, like bush 1, but whoever runs will run on Trump’s record.
Let’s just stay vigiliant.
I hated the first movie.
I dont want to see a sequel.
I voted for that.
Who needs him to tell us that?
It always helps to have a witness to a death..............
There’s a Democrat party?
I didn’t notice.
“ and that’s an incredible loss of moderate, working-class voters,” Penn said.”
Call us deplorable Nazi inbred ignorant mouth breathing illiterate redneck garbage some more.
That will help.

“...and that’s an incredible loss of moderate, working-class voters...”
In Reality (where I live - Miss You, Rush!) people of all stripes have had enough - MORE than enough!
Socialism does not work. STEALING from Taxpayers does not work. Boys in girls’ sports and bathrooms and locker rooms does not work! STEALING ELECTIONS does not work!
Drag Queens in Kindergarten classes does not work!
The Socialist Democrats in my life are either being very, very QUIET and in denial, or displaying the late-stages of Trump Derangement Syndrome. There is no in-between.
Over the target, taking (a little) flack. MAGA! :)
The Democrats will double down on stupid.
They will go even further left.
Ideologues, each and every one.
It’s all they know.
They will never, ever equate their policies with their defeat.
They will blame it on poor communication of their ideas.
They will blame the vast right-wing conspiracy.
They will blame everybody but their selves and their politics.
They do not know how to compromise like the old Democrats.
They want it all and they want it now, like a two year old in the candy aisle at the grocery store, they will throw fits and tantrums and burn and riot and scream until they get their way..................
I pray that in 2026 the ‘Rat disapproval manifests as a useful House and Senate majority.
If they keep doing what they are doing , 2026 will be a complete disaster for them.............Don’t tell them.................
After the 1964 election they were saying the same thing about the Republican party.
That was all lipservice to get elected.
