Democrats Face 'Major Wake-up Call' as Trump Trounces Them in Polling
Newsweek ^ | 5/2/25 | Martha McHardy

Posted on 05/04/2025 11:18:58 AM PDT by DallasBiff

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 do democrats have in their bullpen, AOC, Jasmine Crockett or David Hogg?

All losers.

Dems putting up Biden in his decrepit mental state reminds me of a classic Star Trek TOS episode, where the underlings actually controlled things.

Anything that daunts and erodes Democrat influence over pretty much anything,
is a good thing most likely. At this point in the USA’s political evolution / degeneration anyway.

“What do democrats have in their bullpen

They are all Commie wanna-bees.

They all secretly love how Pooty-Poot does it.

Obviously the democrats haven’t gotten their message out.... MORE camera time for the squad. More calling Trump Hitler and his supporters nazis. More trips to El Salvador to lobby on behalf of terrorists. More democrat riots in the streets of their own cities. More focus group tested media democrat poaching narratives and phrases. More tiktok dances. More insane trannies perpetrating violence. More more more. If only the democrats had media outlets though.....

The Democrat Party poisons the mind of the public through its abuses of the so-called “entertainment” industry and the so-called “news” media.

It became emboldened by this to the point of initiating the Woke Reign of Terror.

Hopefully, American (particularly the young) see now that things such as “climate change” and Covid were every bit as phony as “what are your pronouns”

Yes that’s likely.

It’s happened before. People such as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were unknown the most Americans, when they first ran for president. Obama as well, did not have a long political history before he ran.

By 2026, Conservatives will have so many recorded statements from Libtards to use in the newscasts about the elections.

The decline in recent polls in Trumps popularity is being touted by the legacy media, but given their 92% negative stories against Donald the decline is minor at best. On the other hand they ignore the same polls showing the Dems and the legacy media approval numbers are south of 3 day old sardines left in the sink.

I am seeing a recipe for loss. Forcing the liberal thought process to be set back is not the end of the game. There are still a lot of voters out there that don’t see a winning cause but a lesser of evils based upon their pocketbooks and not the realty of a failed liberal agenda much swept under the rug. Until the conservatives can slam the liberal process for what it is, the liberals are still in the game.

The conservatives are allowing the liberals to steer the process in congress with failing conservatives looking the other way, or in some cases, working with the liberals to accomplish the goal of tarnishing the president’s agenda that the voters voted in. And as long as every step is being retarded or kicked down the road, the control will be watered down until the fickled voters turn back to the lies and in many cases criminal acts by liberals so voters will allow themselves to be put back in the corral again until it is painful enough.

The poll that mattered was conducted back in Nov 2024.

Most democrats voted for an ill-prepared nobody that they all rejected back in 2020, and which most democrats wished wasn’t their candidate in 2024.

But, in a country almost evenly divided in their politics, nobody will ever get approval ratings beyond 50% constantly.

Democrats need to convince their constituencies that they still matter, even as those constituencies give them low ratings. To do that, democrat strategists need to lie constantly, but they can’t undo the good things coming out of the Trump administration. But they still try to convince their people that what Trump is doing is bad for the country, contrary to reality. Don’t believe your lying eyes, believe what we say, is the message from democrats.

Here’s the thing though, they have their own polls that show Trump cratering, so they’re happy.

So, very soon, they will start lying, ie, pronouncing conservative values for the midterm “show”
