Democrats’ approval rating craters to 35-year low: WSJ poll
NY Post ^ | 7/26/25 | Ryan King

Posted on 07/26/2025 12:05:09 PM PDT by Libloather

Democrats’ approval rating with registered voters has plunged to a 35-year low, while Republicans maintain an edge on most of the top issues Americans care about, a new poll found.

A whopping 63% of registered voters view Democrats unfavorably, dramatically eclipsing the 33% who had a positive impression, marking the lowest rating they scored since 1990, according to a Wall Street Journal survey.

That abysmal rating for Democrats comes against the backdrop of lackluster figures for President Trump and Republicans. Trump’s approval rating sits at 46%, with 52% who disapprove of the commander in chief. The figure is higher than this point during his first term, which was 40%.

Republicans’ approval rating clocked in at a net seven points unfavorable.

If congressional elections were held today, 46% of voters indicated they’d back a Democrat, compared to 43% who would support a Republican.

A majority, 51%, also said the change Trump is bringing has resulted in dysfunction and chaos, compared to 45% who agreed the president was making positive adjustments.

Still, across the board, voters preferred the GOP approach over the Dem position on a range of key issues.

Voters trusted Republicans over Democrats on inflation by about 10 points; on immigration by 17 points; and handling illegal immigrants by 17 points, the survey found.

Read somewhere that Horizontal is the leader with Bootygig in second place. That's a shame.

the Wall Street Journal is full of CRAP.

Demon Rat party’s real rating is much much much lower than 33% approval.

Garbage journalism.

But 1990 was just 2 years before the Clinton ascendancy.

“””the Wall Street Journal is full of CRAP.”””””

The poll was probably taken in their own “news” room.

The Trump Admin is just getting started with spilling the tea on what Democrats have been doing for the past few decades. It’s not going to be pretty for them.

Thank you, Ross Perot.

Doesn’t matter.

When the 2026 elections come, Democrats will dutifully fall in line and vote (and cheat) for whichever scumbag is running.

I wonder what Trump's number would be if 96% of MSM stories about him were positive like they were for Biden his first three years? The MSM advertiser FOR democrats and it's amazing considering that - that we're even able to stay in the game.

Good old “sucking sound” Perot allowed Slick to win with 42% of the vote.

Democrats aren't worried in the least. They know how to turn it around with Furries and Dank Memes...

You are correct. We need many many wins so Independents can tune the DIMs fearmongering off. We cannot let them back into power as they are all for destroying this country and any chance of righting this ship.

It’s up from the 32 I saw a couple of weeks ago. Not close to the 21 and 19 we have seen.

So they want to raise their beloved party’s numbers up while saying it’s the lowest since 1990. Gaslighting and scamming. Next week’s new lowest ever will be 39.

Yeah, rat foot soldiers don’t approve because the Dem politicians aren’t left enough. Don’t be fooled, they’ll come out in numbers to vote rat. That’s how I see it.

That was probably done on purpose now that I think on it.

This analysis doesn’t even make sense.
If it truly was 46-43 with voters, the RATS would be ecstatic.
I have not met a single one who isn’t totally delusional right now.

Don’t worry, Republicans will shit the bed and save the Democrats. Why? Because it’s one big uni-party club scam.
