US Democrats have worst poll numbers since Clinton era – WSJ
Public approval of the US Democratic Party has fallen to its lowest level in more than three decades, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll, which also shows voters expressing greater confidence in Republicans on most major policy issues.
The survey, conducted July 16-20 among 1,500 registered voters, found that 33% viewed the party favorably, while 63% expressed an unfavorable opinion. It marks the worst rating for Democrats in the Journal’s polling since 1990. The Republican Party also received a net negative rating, with 43% viewing it favorably and 54% unfavorably, but the gap was narrower.
Voters now say they trust Republicans more than Democrats in Congress on eight out of ten issues polled. The only exceptions are healthcare and vaccine policy.
This trust gap has persisted despite broad dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s handling of key issues. Most respondents disapprove of his management of inflation, the economy, tariffs and foreign policy. Still, Republicans have more support on each of those topics. For example, while Trump received a net disapproval of 11 points on inflation, the GOP was preferred over Democrats by 10 points on the issue.
