Democratic Leaders Get Worst Polling Result in Over Two Decades
Story by Jason Lemon • 18h

Democratic leaders in Congress got more bad news this week after new polling showed confidence in their leadership has reached a historic low.

Why It Matters
Democratic leaders have struggled to mount an effective response to President Donald Trump and Republicans since their defeat in the 2024 election, in which they lost control of the Senate and the White House while the GOP held its majority in the House of Representatives. Many Democratic voters have expressed frustration and some within the party are pushing for primary challenges against longtime incumbents.
 
New polling carried out by Gallup from April 1 to 14 showed that confidence in Democratic congressional leadership has hit an all-time low since the organization has surveyed voters on the issue going back to 2001.

Just 25 percent of respondents expressed confidence in Democratic congressional leadership, down 9 points from the previous historic low of 34 percent set in 2023. The confidence level is also significantly below Democrats' historic average, which has been about 45 percent since 2001.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That's not low enough yet.
The goal ought to be less than 5%.

Keep trying...!
