The Democratic Party is confronting a collapse in favorability ratings in Georgia at a pivotal time, as liberal voters outraged by President Donald Trump’s comeback demand a more confrontational pushback to the Republican’s norm-shattering agenda.
The latest Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll shows just 35% of registered Georgia voters have a favorable view of the Democratic Party after Trump swept the state and other political battlegrounds in his 2024 return to power. That’s the lowest level of support in nine years of AJC polling.
The party’s dismal ratings come as Democratic activists prepare to vote for a new party chair on Saturday amid vivid disagreements over the best strategy to take on Trump and his Georgia allies in next year’s midterms.
The top contenders to take charge of the Democratic Party of Georgia are vowing to confront Republicans more directly — from top-level races for governor and U.S. Senate to down-ballot contests for local and legislative seats.
But they’re also contending with a growing chorus of progressive activists who say Democrats haven’t done enough to halt Trump’s efforts to dismantle the federal bureaucracy, reorder global diplomacy and reconfigure the nation’s economy.
“We’ve got to show voters, including Democrats, that we’re going to fight for them,” said Charlie Bailey, a former nominee for attorney general and lieutenant governor who has dozens of endorsements heading into Saturday’s vote.
“We’re going to raise a whole bunch of money, and we’re going to flip these seats. It is going to be a full-court press. Republicans are going to be very unhappy if I win this chair race.”
Bailey and other party leaders are trying to prevent the further unraveling of gains made in the 2020 campaign, when Joe Biden broke...

more fight? nothing but violence will satisfy the base of the dem party.
The Dem senator preacher will not get re elected.
“base demands more fight”
Astroturfing.
Just when they need to pivot to sanity.
Having said that maybe now is the time to run a three hundred pound bearded lady. (Just sayin’)
Reminds me of the typical Republican complaint that not enough is being done. Nice to see it on the enemy side for once.
I certainly hope not.
Just run more to the left. That’s the ticket.yeah
CONSERVATIVES ESPECIALLY, and the stuffy old GOP more broadly, ABSOLUTELY MUST come to grips with the reality that there is a rising far FAR left that is becoming more numerous, and — having been indulged throughout “The Summer Of Love,” and now stirred into frothing apoplexy by the freedom-resuscitating acts of this Administration — FAR MORE openly vocal.
The same cabal that sponsored, spoke at, and attended THIS:

...is the same cabal damning Democrats for “not doing enough” to stonewall Trump.
UNDERSTAND WITH CLARITY:
These is the Marxist hive-mind talking, and to ignore them is INSANE. The days are LONG GONE when Conservatives and anyone else to the right of Senator Murkowski can afford to dismiss them as harmless hippies knocking their heads into the wind chimes and stinking of patchouli water like P.J. O’Rourke (RIP) used to.
This is a virulent band of ideologues absolutely NOT above street violence.
YOU’D BETTER PAY A-DAMN-TTENTION
more fight? nothing but violence will satisfy the base of the dem party.
Exactly. More violence against reality.
“more confrontational pushback”
Sure. How about…
1. Impeach
2. “Nazi”
3. “Fascist”
4. “Oligarch”
5. Tax breaks for the rich.
6. Trump will cut your SS and Medicaid
7. Local district judges make nationwide TROs and injunctions
8. Order planes full of terrorists to turn around midflight
9. More men pretending to be women beating up real women
10. More US aid for African truckers getting laid at truck stops in the Congo
11. More judges sneaking criminals out of their courtroom to evade ICE
It’s a winning approach. GO FOR IT, Dems.
The Dem socialist/woke types don't want a "folding chair."
On the bright side, Dems are now more popular than having a venomous snake crawling into someone’s bedroom at night, a notice of higher copays from insurance plans and sciatic nerve pain that won’t go away.
By a couple of percentage points.
Ask them if they can spell out their plan for the country without ever saying the word Trump.
Great list. Sounds like a plan. Battle of the Bulge style.
They want an insurrection and/or election theft.
Fake polls. Maybe they want DuMS-13 to care about Americans as much as they do illegals?
Didn’t Chuck just get caught on a hot mic saying they’re in trouble in Georgia?
Yes.
