Just months into Donald Trump's second term, a new round of polling has delivered a jolt to Democrats, revealing that Trump is more trusted than them in Congress.
Why It Matters
Recent polls have shown Trump's approval ratings declining and his popularity at an all-time low. Despite this, polls still seem to show that Trump is commanding more trust than his main opposition party.
This dynamic not only strengthens Trump's hand as he advances his second-term agenda but also signals a daunting challenge for Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms—one that could further erode their influence at both state and federal levels.
What To Know
In January, Donald Trump appeared to be riding a wave of political momentum—his approval ratings had climbed into positive territory for the first time in his career, and polls suggested he was more popular than ever.
But recent polls suggest that Trump now holds the distinction of being the least popular president at the 100-day mark of a second term, surpassing even the historically low ratings he received during his first presidency.
**SNIP**
But despite the negative polls for Trump, some suggest he is still more popular than the Democrats.

Not to worry. Boss Hogg is on the case.
Yeah. That’s an excellent idea.
Yep, very few.
Congresscritters are mainly failures that we have to support with a paycheck and benefits.
I HATE loud alarm clocks. Porr gender fluid persons.
Reminds me of the clinical(?) definition of the word “insanity”... doing the same thing over and over, but always expecting a different result.
Fits the Dems to a tee.
Democrats are more unpopular than ever.
No reason for one not to think so.
Just about anybody is trusted more than congressional Democrats. My dog is trusted more - he won't bite you when your back is turned.
