Democrats hit rock bottom as party plummets to all-time low: poll
Fox News ^ | July 17, 2025 | Paul Steinhauser

Posted on 07/19/2025 4:37:35 AM PDT by george76

Just 19% of voters questioned in a new national poll give Democrats in Congress a thumbs up on how they're handling their duties, with 72% disapproving.

That's an all-time low since Quinnipiac University first began asking congressional approval questions in their surveys 16 years ago.

The Democratic Party has been in the political wilderness since November's elections, when Republicans won back control of the White House and the Senate and defended their fragile House majority. And Republicans made gains among Black, Hispanic and younger voters, all traditional members of the Democratic Party's base.

The trend is reflected in the new Quinnipiac poll, which was conducted July 10-14.

Just 39% of Democrats approve of the way Democrats in Congress are handling their jobs, with 52% disapproving and 9% not offering an opinion.

...

"The approval numbers for Democrats can be characterized as flat out terrible," Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said.

...

just over three-quarters of Republicans (77%) said they approved of the way GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill were handling their jobs, with just one in five disapproving.

Forty percent of respondents approved of how Trump is handling his job as president, with 54% disapproving.

...

Presidential and congressional approval ratings have long been closely watched barometers ahead of a midterm election.

Republicans will be defending their slim House and Senate majorities in next year's midterms, and will also be facing traditional headwinds that hamper the party in power.

Yeah, but why was Colbert cancelled? Surely there’s no correlation.

The Democrat party has been entrenched since the 1960s. The hippie generation. I thought if I were patient I could wait them out. It certainly took much longer than I expected. They won’t get off the stage the old withered hippies. About time. Unfortunately, there’s always something worse warming up in the bullpen.

“Unfortunately, there’s always something worse warming up in the bullpen.”

Totalitarian Islamist communists, it seems.

The DIMs hopefully will go the way of the Whigs. They are a cancer on civil society.

The show was a huge money loser. And CBS probably timed the end of the show with the end of any possibility that they would owe Colbert any final payout. Otherwise, it would make sense to just shut it down now.

yep. With our diversity experiment, that’s exactly what I thought as well. That’s our future. Mish mash of nonsense.

Keep doing what you do democrats, keep saying the stupid things you say, keep supporting illegals and criminals. Don’t stop and make sure you run for a camera every time you do. I hope every American gets to see what you are. I have known for 50 years and KNEW the day would come when you would HAVE to expose yourselves for what you are.
The self-destruction of this evil, anti-American party is incredibly satisfying.

Why isn’t Joe Pedo in prison for the damage the bass turd did to America during his reign of terror that took place while he spent all his time on the beach sleeping and eating ice cream while his interns were recklessly running the country. Lock Biden’s ying yang up! 21 million illegal alien freeloaders running rampant across America. Let’s Go Brandon. FJB. Only retarded people doing a lot of drugs would think that was a good idea.

But militant, aggressive, and murderous.

It’s going to be a multi-generational struggle.

Teach the young how to defend themselves.

Yes. They just have a messaging problem. They need to be louder and more “in your face” to get the masses on their side.

AOC/Mandami 2028!!!

I’m guessing that a great number of people who disapprove of the Dems is just because they aren’t left enough, they haven’t taken that bullet.

Even Sandy’s Taco and Tequila Squawd Members aren’t getting any respect these days.
