Liberal pollsters are panicked; Dem Party in ruins

The Republican Party has long been known as the “GOP,” but if the Democratic Party ever chooses an acronym, it could settle for “L.” The Democrats have taken a steady series of losses ever since their Vice President Kamala Harris was rejected decisively in the presidential election.

A series of newly released polls and procedural flops show just how just how wrecked the Democratic Party has become.

The Democratic Party is less popular than ever. Its opponents are more popular than ever. And even its biggest supporters wish it would just chill out and try to act normal for a change.

First, the bad news (for the Democrats, anyway): More people have a negative view of the Democratic Party than any time in recent history.

An incredible 57 percent of Americans say their feelings about the Democrats are “negative,” according to a Quinnipiac poll released last Wednesday. Only 31 percent—less than one in three Americans—sees the party positively.

“The Democrats’ unfavorability rating is the highest since Quinnipiac pollsters began asking the question in November 2008,” reported the New York Post. “Similarly, the percentage of voters viewing the GOP favorably is the highest over the same period.”

“Maybe it’s bc they didn’t elect enough non-binaries to the dnc,” wrote podcaster Megyn Kelly—joking about the widely mocked election of new officials at the Democratic National Committee, which has quotas for men and women and an entire category for “non-binary” people.

Second, while Democrats fall to new lows, Republican Donald Trump keeps going higher and higher.

Trump started his second term with the highest approval ratings he’s ever had in his presidency: 53 percent of Americans approve of President Trump, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll.

That’s his highest rating in that poll—higher than his first term.

Third, that’s not the only historic achievement Trump had this month.

For the first time in the last 20 years of polling, more Americans now believe America is on the right track than on the wrong track, Rasmussen Polls announced. Thursday,

It’s only one point—47 percent to 46—but it still breaks the well-regarded polling firm’s record.

Yet the Democrats insist “Trump’s Approval Ratings Continue to Plummet.”

Their proof? The best they could muster is an allegation that Elon “Musk’s net favorables are way down” since Democrats started demonizing the Tesla founder.

If Democrats succeed in turning America completely against Musk personally, what difference would it make? They can’t impeach him; he’s not a government employee.

Fourth, a new poll shows, no matter what Americans may think of Musk as an individual—and he seems pretty likable—they support his waste-cutting Department of Government Efficiency. “The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk heads, is viewed favorably (42%) by more than view it unfavorably (38%),” according to a YouGov/Economist poll taken February 9-11.

That’s bad news after the Democrats went so far as to sing union-style hymns mocking Musk.

Maybe that’s why the fifth poll shows even most Democrats believe their party should just chill out, drop its liberal extremism, and start caring about average Americans again.

45 percent—just shy of an outright majority of Democratic voters—want the Democratic Party to become more conservative, according to Gallup poll released Thursday. “Support for a more moderate Democratic Party among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents has grown by 11 percentage points, to 45%, since 2021. At the same time, Democrats’ and leaners’ desire for a more liberal party has declined five points, to 29%.”

Meanwhile, the same poll shows the biggest share of Republicans (43 percent) is happy with the Trump-led GOP exactly as it is.

If the rank-and-file want the Democrats to move to the middle, the elites aren’t listening.

On February 1, the party elected new leaders who hold to the same old extreme liberalism.

Newly elected Chairman Ken Martin agreed that “racism and misogyny played a role” in Kamala Harris’ 2024 election loss—blaming the voter instead of his party’s failed political leadership.

As vice chairman, the Democrats elected David Hogg, the 24-year-old gun control radical who made a name for himself by exploiting his connection to a high school shooting.

“I’m too radical for American politics,” said Hogg in 2021.

“How radical you ask?” he continued. Hogg admitted he would outright confiscate wealth, have the government ban nearly all firearms—including shotguns—just like Australia, and pass “universal healthcare,” “free college for all,” and “legalize all drugs.”

In other social media messages, Hogg called on democrats to “Abolish ICE” and “defund the police.”

Despite a national shellacking in November and a party begging for its leadership to act normal, the DNC went Hogg-wild on radicalism.

Good luck with that.
