The Democratic Party’s credibility with voters has plummeted even further since the 2024 election, raising alarm bells as the party looks to rebuild ahead of the midterms and the next presidential election, according to a poll obtained by The Hill.
The poll, conducted between May and June by Unite the Country, a Democratic super PAC, showed voters perceived the Democratic Party as “out of touch,” “woke” and “weak.”
The party has seen its support erode with white men, Hispanic men and working-class voters across the board, with approval ratings sitting below 35 percent across those demographics. And enthusiasm within the party continues to wane in the wake of 2024, the poll revealed.
“This is the reality of the perception of us as a party, and until we accept that, it’s going to be hard to move forward,” said Democratic strategist Rodell Mollineau, who serves as senior adviser to the super PAC. “There’s a perception out there, outside of Democratic elites, and it’s taken hold in not just the MAGA crowd but people that should be with us.”
“Democrats need to realize that in order to improve and get better to not only win in 2028 but to win in 2030 and 2032 and beyond,” Mollineau added.
Democrats have been searching for a way out of the wilderness since their devastating loss in November, when they not only lost the presidency once again to President Trump but also the House and Senate.
Since then, party officials have conducted a number of postmortems — including polls, focus groups and strategy sessions — as part of the party’s rebuilding effort.
But Democrats are still feeling dejected and rudderless in the early months of the Trump presidency.

And they just keep doubling down on the same Stupid and ramping up the violent rhetoric
Reported by the DungHill?
They must be really scared about 2026
Karens run the party and those are the least self-reflective people there ever were.
It makes sense because it's the party of the wealthy coastal elite. They're all "educated" therefore indoctrinated.
Not for long. The Epstein Conspiracy wing of the Republican Party will give the Democrats a boost.
And clearly so, since people in government think that they can maintain a system where child sex trafficking is hushed up.
Despicable people
Wait until the lifeline Bondi and Trump just threw to the dems makes it into the polling. Midterms? Gone, that ship just sailed. 2028? Open question now.
Ditto. It’s the policies, stupid. They know this, but they’ve amped up their simple-minded base on the issues of immigration, LBGQT$&@, transing the kids, and mens in women’s sports. Having convinced their orcs that anyone who disagrees with them on these issues is “literally Hitler,” how can they now say they didn’t really mean it? They can’t and that’s why they’re stuck. That said, I don’t want them to stop spending millions on studies on why the normies hate them
That seems alive and well here at FR
“And they just keep doubling down on the same Stupid and ramping up the violent rhetoric”
I suspect their discussions are along the lines of— how can we fool these people so they don’t have negative views of us?
Only to simple minded people

Not everyone cares about Epstein.
I care about the economy. I care about millions of illegals in our nation. I care about a government so large that millions can go missing and no one notices.
The southern border is secured
Inflation is under control
Millions of new jobs.
Tariffs are flowing into our treasury.
...yet you believe Epstein will cause voters to return to power to the Democrats.
Not counting my eggs.
Rush always used to remind us that there is lots of time between today and the next election. Lots of things can happen.
Nothing exist that can be proven.
Why despite 26 trips to Epstein Island has Bill Clinton never been asked about this?
Really great question. I have lots of them for the government and those politically connected.
Coverups are real its true.
You have your opinion, there will be an election in 2026 and so we don't really have to debate who's going to be right about this prediction, we will know.
There is a vocal portion of freerepublic that actually believed the pedophile pizza conspiracy thing a few years back never underestimate the power of Steve Bannin or Tucker Carlson to screw up an election
