Dem Favorability Hits 35-Year Low as GOP Gains Trust on Key Issues
The image of the Democratic Party has fallen at its lowest level since 1990, according to a new Wall Street Journal Survey, because voters promote republicans on almost all major questions, even while expressing the disapproval of Donald Trump’s approach to key policies such as inflation, prices and foreign policy.
The Democratic Party has reached a 35 -year -old hollow with American voters, according to a new Wall Street Journal survey Display of 63 percent watch the party unfavorably, the worst note since 1990 and only 8% have a very favorable view. The results reflect an increasingly considered party with voters, the Republicans have now preferred almost all major problems.
The survey indicates that voters trust the Republicans on Democrats to manage almost all key problems, including inflation, prices, foreign and most important policy, where Republicans have an amazing advantage of 24 points.
Even among the voters who disapprove of Trump’s approach to certain policies, the GOP is always favored to direct. For example, voters disapprove of the management of inflation by Trump by 11 points, but trust the Republicans on Democrats on inflation by 10. The model is repeated on several questions, with voters who essentially signal: we may not like Trump, but we trust his party to govern.
“The Democratic brand is so bad that it does not have the credibility of being a critic of Trump or the Republican Party,” said Democratic poll John Anzalone, who co-deputted the investigation. “Until they inquire with real voters and workers on whom they are and what is their economic message, they will have problems.”
The problems seem to get worse. The grip of the Democratic Party on the identity of voters slides. While the Democrats once had a six -point recording advantage in 2017, the Republicans are now threatened by a point. This marks a rare and significant realignment in the electorate. The Republicans built their first sustainable advance in the identification of the party last year and maintained this advance today, the Newspaper Survey found.
The Democrats still hope to reproduce the energy of the counterpouss which gave them control of the Chamber in 2018. They provide meetings of the City House across the country, including in the districts deposited with the Republicans, to plead in the event of a file of the Trump’s agenda. Meanwhile, the National Republican Committee ended the first half of 2025 with more than $ 80 million in hand, against $ 15 million held by the National Branch of Democrats.
The only questions where voters preferred the Democrats of Congress to Republicans were health care and vaccine policy. On all other problems tested in the Newspaper Survey, the voters expressed more confidence in the Republicans.
As CEO of Openai Sam Altman recently note In a post viral X, the modern Democratic Party has “lost the plot”, turning away from capitalism, innovation and the engines of American progress. “I care much more about being American than any political party,” Altman wrote, expressing the consternation of what he considers the growing hostility of the party towards growth and individual success.
In addition, eminent democrats like Barack Obama and Beto O’Rourke urged their party to harden. Obama mocked What he called the “fetal position” mentality, while O’Rourke warned that “Democrats in the past have too often been more concerned with reason than power”. “We must be absolutely ruthless to come back to power,” added O’Rourke. Despite repeated post-electoral strategy sessions, democrats continue to lose ground with Hispanic men and working class voters, according to recent Hill survey.
