The Democratic Party’s favorability rating among Americans is at a record level, according to a new CNN poll conduit By SSRS, partially fed by the gradation views of its own frustrated supporters.
With many members of the party by publicly publishing that their leaders should do more to resist President Donald Trump, Democrats and the self -employed aligned by Democrats say that, 57% to 42%, that Democrats should mainly work to bring the light of the Republican Day, rather than working with the majority of the GOP to bring certain democratic ideas.
The investigation was carried out from March 6 to 9, a few days before 10 Democratic senators – including the head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, voted with House Republicans to advance a GOP spending bill to avoid a closure of the government, to the chagrin of many Democratic and progressive criticism legislators.
The desire for the majority to fight the GOP marks a significant change in the posture of the party from the start of Trump’s first term. A September 2017 survey revealed that a large majority of democrats and thin democrats saying that their party should work with the Republicans to try to advance their own priorities, and only 23% pleading for a more combative approach.
Democratic aligned adults say that, 52% to 48%, that the leadership of the Democratic Party is currently taking the party in the wrong direction. This is another change compared to eight years ago, when opinions on this metric were largely positive.
Among the American public on the whole, the Democratic Party’s favorability rating is 29% – a record in the CNN survey dating from 1992 and a decrease of 20 points since January 2021, when Trump left his first mandate under the shadow of the January 6 attack in Capitol. The note of the Republican Party is currently 36%.
This is partly motivated by relatively high levels of dissatisfaction within the Democratic Party. Only 63% of democrats and democratic self -employed report a favorable vision of their own party, a drop of 72% in January and 81% at the start of the administration of President Joe Biden. The decline appears on ideological wings, with favorability ratings for the Democratic Party falling 18 points among liberals and moderates since the beginning of 2021.
On the other hand, 79% of Republicans and Republican meager currently have a positive vision of the GOP. Political self -employed as a group take short views of the two parties, with 19%, noting favorably the Democrats and 20% saying the same of the Republicans.
Democratic and republican parties are considered by about half of the public as having too extreme opinions and policies, rather than generally temporary. This is a change compared to 2022, when most Americans – 56% – called the Democratic Party positions. Gop views have been effectively unchanged during this period.
Political independents remain more likely to see the Republicans as outside the dominant current – 57% call the too extreme GOP, while 48% say the same thing of the Democrats. But 16% of Democrats call their own too extreme party, while only 9% of Republicans say the same thing about the GOP.
The public continues to distinguish between Trump and his party. The Americans are more likely to call the president too extreme than saying the same thing of the republican party as a whole, although it is down by a difference of 18 points in 2022.
Democrats, who consider Trump too extremely, have not yet consolidated around any single party leader to serve as a counterpoint. Asked in an open question to name the Democratic leader, they feel “best reflect the fundamental values” of the party, 10% of adults aligned Democrats call the representative of New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 9% vice-president Kamala Harris, 8% of the Vermont Bernie Sanders and 6% of the chief of the Hakeem Jeffries. 4% additional to each name former president Barack Obama and the representative of Texas Jasmine Crockett, with Schumer by joining a handful of others at 2%.
More than 30% have not offered a name in response. “No one,” replied a respondent. “This is the problem.”
Michigan senator, Elissa Slotkin, who gave the party’s response to Trump’s presidential address this month, remains largely unknown. A distinct question reveals that almost three -quarters of Americans have never heard of it or have no opinion of it, the rest was divided roughly into their opinions. Slotkin is barely better known in his own party, although adults aligned democratic who express a vision of it are largely positive, 24% favorable to 6% unfavorable.
The actions of Ocasio Cortez in the party are particularly high in those who describe themselves as liberal and under 45, with around 1 in 6 within each of these groups emblematic of the party’s values. No democratic leader has questioned two figures in the elderly or moderate on this metric.
The opinions of adults aligned by democrats on their party and its leadership are also divided strongly according to demographic lines, according to the survey. Those who say democrats are much more sympathetic than the self -employed who lean towards the party to express favorable opinions on democrats (72% to 37%), and to say that party leaders take it in the right leadership (53% to 34%).
And while party leadership obtains positive examinations from most women aligned by democrats (57% of whom say they take democrats in the right direction), people of color (57%) and those without university diplomas (60%), only 38% of men and 32% of graduates of white colleges say the same thing.
On the other hand, majorities through demographic lines say they want to see the Democrats work to stop the republican agenda, with little daylight between the opinions of those who describe themselves as democrats and those of the self -employed who lean towards the party. The only group aligned by Democrat remaining to be unraveling in favor of the compromise is the moderates: they say that, 51% to 48%, that Democrats should mainly try to work with the Republicans.
The CNN survey was carried out by the SSR from March 6 to 9 among a random national sample of 1,206 American adults drawn from a panel based on probabilities. The surveys were carried out online or by phone with a live interviewer. The results among all adults have a sampling error margin of ± 3.3 percentage points. The results among the 504 democratic democrats or independents have a sampling margin of ± 5.0 percentage points.
