Democrat Approval Just Hit New All-Time Low
How bad are things for the Democrats right now?
They're embracing extremist politicians, illegal aliens, and even demonizing law enforcement.
They are in chaos, with no real leaders. Now, there are multiple investigations into the cover-up of the cognitive decline of the "leader" they did have - Joe Biden.
But they're Democrats. So they can always go lower. And they just did, in a new Quinnipiac poll.
The job approval rating for congressional Democrats has plunged to another all-time low, with fewer than 2 in 10 Americans happy with their work on Capitol Hill.
Only 19% of registered voters approve of the way Democrats in Congress are handling their job, a Quinnipiac University Poll released Wednesday found.
The dismal rating for congressional Dems is the lowest ever recorded by the pollster, which first began asking the question in 2009.
That's with 72 percent disapproving.
"The approval numbers for Democrats can be characterized as flat out terrible," Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said.
Yikes. That's even lower than the 21 percent that Quinnipiac reported in March, when CNN's Harry Enten snarked, "You just can't get lower than these numbers."
But the Democrats found a way.
Even among Democrats, they are in deep trouble - a "majority (52%) disapprove of congressional Democrats, with only 39% satisfied."
But I have faith. I think if they work a little harder and take bad positions on more issues that antagonize the American people, they could maybe hit single digits.
It's still a long way out to the midterms, so of course, it's a bit premature. As we reported, it doesn't look good for the Democrats when the Republicans have more pick-up opportunities, according to CNN's senior data analyst Harry Enten. The generic ballot numbers are not good for them compared to prior cycles.
They are still doing all the same things that caused them to lose in November: not offering any solutions to the things that people care about, and spending all their time complaining about President Donald Trump. They just don't get it. Their left has energy, but their policies and approach are horrendous. I'm not even sure who is moderate among the Democrats anymore, apart from Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA).
Normally, you would think they would have the advantage going into the midterms, as the party out of power. But unless they get their act together, I wouldn't bet on it.
