Democrats Face 35-Year Low in Voter Approval

A Wall Street Journal poll reveals that the Democratic Party's favorability has plummeted to its lowest in over three decades, with only 33% viewing them favorably amid widespread distrust and perceptions that Republicans are better at handling key issues. The party faces credibility problems, and voters are more skeptical of Democrats' ability to manage the economy, immigration, and foreign policy, while also disapproving of President Trump’s agenda. Despite some hope for a backlash in the 2026 midterms, Democrats need to reconnect with voters to improve their standing.
