PROOF: Democrat Party in CRISIS!

PROOF: Democrat Party in CRISIS!

The Democratic Party is in freefall, facing its worst favorability ratings in decades.

According to a recent poll, only 27% of all Americans view the party positively, marking an all-time low in NBC’s polling history.

CNN’s numbers are only slightly better, with just 29% holding a favorable opinion.

Even among their own supporters, cracks are showing — 63% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents still back the party, down sharply from 81% at the start of the Biden administration.

But instead of regrouping or reflecting, they’ve doubled down on divisive policies and obstructionist tactics.

Their obsession with opposing Trump at every turn has alienated moderates and independents who once supported them.

At the same time, Trump’s approval rating continues to rise as he delivers on campaign promises like border security and government reform.

Democrats, however, seem more interested in playing ideological games than addressing real issues that matter to everyday Americans.

And their refusal to adapt or self-reflect might drive voters away in droves…

Your Rundown for Monday, March 24, 2025...

Voice of the Working Class?

The Democratic Party is a shadow of its former self, now clinging to coastal strongholds and urban enclaves.

Their base is deeply disappointed, according to a Quinnipiac University’s annual Q1 Congressional approval poll:

  • Democrats in Congress are underwater, with a mere 40% approval rating compared to 49% disapproval.
  • Just a year ago? Seventy-five percent of Democrats approved their representatives in Congress, with only 21% expressing disapproval.

The party — once considered the voice of the working class — struggles to connect outside its coastal and urban bubbles.

Middle America feels alienated, as if Democrats speak a different language. And, in many respects, they do…

This disconnect is ideological. Some in the party want to trend further left, others right and a few want to maintain the status quo.

Nonetheless, it’s a political standstill.

Meanwhile, their base is restless. But Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and congressional Democrats seem oblivious.

Their message is failing in the heartland, and they seem unable to adapt. If Democrats don’t, they risk becoming completely irrelevant, further distanced from their working-class roots.

Clearly, the Democratic Party is having an identity crisis — and on the verge of a schism akin to the Tea Party and MAGA movements of the Republican Party.

As 2026 midterms loom, will Democrats reconnect with Middle America?

The choice is theirs: step up or step aside.
