‘Lowest Ever Recorded’: CNN Drops ‘Staggering’ Poll Showing ‘Brutal Reality’ of Democrat Disapproval Ratings
By Mediaite. CNN’s Manu Raju shared a poll on Sunday’s Inside Politics he said shows the “brutal reality” of how negatively Americans view Democrats, with the favorable/unfavorable rating at its lowest point since the network began tracking the metric some 30 years ago.
Raju opened Sunday’s show with a full breakdown of a CNN/SSRS survey, reporting that it found only 29% of those polled viewed Democrats in a favorable light.
Fifty-four percent of those surveyed told CNN they viewed the Democratic Party unfavorably — something Raju called “staggering.”
While Democrats found themselves historically upside down in the survey, the Republican Party fared better, but not by much, coming in at just 36% favorable, and 48% saying they view the party unfavorably.
“Americans’ favorable views of the Democratic Party’s brand are at a record low, just 29%,” Raju reported. “It is the lowest ever recorded for Democrats in CNN polling, going back more than 30 years.” (Read more from “‘Lowest Ever Recorded’: CNN Drops ‘Staggering’ Poll Showing ‘Brutal Reality’ of Democrat Disapproval Ratings” HERE)

Poll: Democratic Party Favorability Sinks to Historic Low
By Breitbart. Almost nobody cares about the Democratic Party anymore, not even its own membership. That is the outcome delivered by a poll released Sunday that shows the party’s favorability rating among Americans has sunk to a historic low thanks in part to underwhelming views from its own frustrated supporters.
A CNN poll conducted by SSRS found with many in the Democratic Party publicly say their meek leaders should do more to challenge President Donald Trump, Democrats and Democratic-aligned independents say, 57 percent to 42 percent, that Democrats should mainly work to stop the Republican agenda, rather than working with the GOP majority to get some Democratic ideas into legislation.
CNN reports that weak, dithering leaders and poor political judgement combine to disillusion former backers of the party which has seen it slide into irrelevance:
The majority’s desire to fight the GOP marks a significant change in the party’s posture from the start of Trump’s first term. A September 2017 poll found a broad 74% majority of Democrats and Democratic leaners saying their party should work with Republicans in an attempt to advance their own priorities, and just 23% advocating for a more combative approach.
Democratic-aligned adults say, 52% to 48%, that the leadership of the Democratic Party is currently taking the party in the wrong direction. That’s another shift from eight years ago, when views on this metric were largely positive.
Among the American public overall, the Democratic Party’s favorability rating stands at just 29% – a record low in CNN’s polling dating back to 1992 and a drop of 20 points since January 2021, when Trump exited his first term under the shadow of the January 6 attack at on Capitol. The Republican Party’s rating currently stands at 36%.
Overall Democrats have yet to consolidate around any one-party leader to serve as a counterpoint to a surging and increasingly confident President Donald Trump.
