New poll delivers troubling signs for Democrats
The Hill ^ | 07/11/25 | Amie Parnes

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.

Harold Ford is a gracious moderate who could turn things around for them. Thank goodness he isn’t running.

Anyone who now supports the Dem party does not want to live in a civilized society.
The Dem party is the party of violent, antisocial insanity.
And they would not do very much toward boosting happiness, prosperity and freedom.
In fact they would, and are, actively trying to destroy those very things.
Because they are either brainwashed, or very stupid.

So the faster that they alienate the sane voters and thereby destroy
themselves and their sick leftist movement the better for the country
and humanity in general.

Our biggest task is find, educate and inform our sane coutrymen.
And people all over the world for that matter.
And do so without descending to their repugnant level of tactics.

Has Alan Dershowitz named the judge that put him under this agreement?

The Dems are rudderless because they are soulless.

Cause he’s trolling name the judge, get him to lift the gag order, and let him say publicly who is on that list problem solved I await him actually asking the judge to lift this order

In light of that obvious fact, how come so many get reelected to Congress?

It is a mistake to underestimate the Democrats. Enough voters could choose then in House races in 2026 because they are the “opposition party.”

They're motivated. That's why I think they're likely to retake Congress in 2026.

Gerrymandering keeps races tight on both sides

There’s only a couple dozen competitive seats in the House

The most hardcore leftists own the democrat party now and the party doesn’t really steer the agenda these days.

They did it to themselves in an attempt to enlarge their party, but too many traditionally democrat voters don’t want to be associated with that.

They did it to themselves with all the promises they made to this new breed of wokesters.

Dems just need to drop their obsession with open borders and illegal aliens. It wasn’t too long ago that they wanted secure borders (they didn’t mean it but they did SAY they wanted it)

Well, it certainly doesn’t help em when the great “unwashed masses” come to the realization that they’ve morphed into a full-blown, radical communist party hellbent on the destruction of the USA as we know it....not to mention the trans insanity.
