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.

Don’t worry, Republicans will shit the bed and save the Democrats. Why? Because it’s one big uni-party club scam.
What’s the Republicans approval rating?
Americans are figuring out the lying DemonKKKrat’s stink:
TIM ALLEN - ON TRUMP: Whatever your feelings for Trump, these are some interesting points that Tim Allen makes. Put your hatred aside and think about these observations. Tim Allen is credited with writing this ...
Tim Allen wrote... Here are some interesting points to think about prior to 2020, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the never Trump Republicans and those thinking of “walking away” from the Democratic party:
- Women are upset at Trump’s naughty words — they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray.
- Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women’s rights only matter if those women are liberal.
- No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there’s more...
- Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege. And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections.
- President Trump’s wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America!
- We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.
- They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.
- 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.
- Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated!
- Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in.
- A socialist is basically a communist who doesn’t have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint ... Yet!
- How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone?
- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy.
- Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don’t remember the FBI raiding his lawyer’s office.
- I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America. The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning, now tells me Trump’s approval ratings are low.
- “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”— Margaret Thatcher
- Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.
- President Trump said — “They’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just in their way.”
Now, go Back & Read this Again like your Future Depends upon it, Because it Does!
The only part of the WSJ that was ever even mildly ‘conservative’ was the op-ed page. The rest of the paper has always been as liberal as the New York Times or Washington Post.
Booty isn’t used to being behind a woman.
Agree. I recall HW referring to supply side economics as voodoo economics. HW was a globalist. I also recall the Bush family was acquainted with the family of the guy who shot Reagan. Of course just a coincidence...
The only ones who support the Dem party are the ones who love Hamas, hate Jews, want open borders for votes, and people who think that men can become chicks
After accounting for the usual MSM / WSJ bias, this poll suggests Republicans would kick the RATs’ tails if the midterm elections were held today.
Yet when comes time to vote 45% - 47 % of the voters will pull the levers for the Rat candidate. Its about the same percent that pay little to no income taxes.
Mitt got that one right.
Well,we can be sure that the Rats have a 100% approval rating with transgenders.
I can't recall anything going on in 1990 that would have caused Democrats to have a low approval rating. And of course, just two years later the nation elected Slick Willie. Of course, he was helped immensely by the recession that had actually ended the previous year, but he pretended along with the media that there was in some deep hole.
No wonder the country's in such a mess!
No wonder President Trump and his colleagues are having to work unremittingly to clean it up!
Clinton masqueraded as a moderate who would “end welfare as we know it”. He also put the idea out with the media that he would propose a tax cut of some kind.
But the main thing that got him elected, besides Perot, was his totally bogus claim that we had “the worst economy in 40 years”. In fact, the recession had ended the previous year.
You could throw in Bush’s lackluster debate performances, and one of them, with audience participation, was a setup. I think Slick Willie may have known the questions in advance. Even if he didn’t, he could be confident what the questions would be about.
Why is it there is constant talk that the American voters are going to end the GOP small majority in the House and maybe in the Senate? “Several tight districts may flip to the Dems. That’s why the spending bill was barely able to make it-—worries about squeaking out re-election for some GOP members”—paraphrased.
How can the voters be that stupid with all Trump is doing for them?
Trump’s approval should be 77%, not under half-——except I’ve heard the polls are using the same shoddy methodology they used to say Kamala was going to win.
Still, there should be parades honoring Trump’s great work.
Yeah, they’ll say “I saw on MSNBC Trump is going to cut off my Social Security to devote money to his billionaire friends.”
Historical data and the demographics of Trump's base.
There is a road for GOP's victory in 2026 but it'll only happen if we are able to persuade more of the working class (of all races) to vote red.
You mean Orange Man Bad 24/7 isnt working for them?
