Pollster Matt Towery said Thursday evening on “Hannity” that he believes President Donald Trump’s poll numbers are likely higher than reported due to the Democratic Party “plummeting” in the polls.
A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, released Sunday, showed the Democratic Party’s favorability dropping to 29%, a record low after losing 20 points since January 2021. While discussing the party’s struggles and lack of leadership, Hannity asked Towery if he believed the Democrats’ push for progressive policies and social justice activism reflects what the “party wants to be.”
“Most of these polls we’ve seen are the ones that didn’t get Trump right in the election anyway, so they’re off to begin with,” Towery said.
“Secondly, they keep talking about the Democratic Party, but what most people don’t point out is the number of people who now identify themselves as Democrats is shrinking and shrinking rapidly,” Towery added. “So you’ve got a smaller party that doesn’t appear to have a plan, that isn’t polling well at all.”
In the CNN/SSRS poll conducted from March 6-9, disapproval of the Democratic Party notably came from within, with only 63% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents approving of their party. This marks a nine-point drop since January and an 18-point decline since the start of the Biden-Harris administration.
