The Democratic Party has reached an all-time low in popularity in the
latest national NBC News poll, as it searches for a path forward after a painful loss to President Donald Trump — and as the party’s voters spoil for a fight between their leaders in Washington and Trump.
Just over a quarter of registered voters (27%) say they have positive
views of the party, which is the party’s lowest positive rating in NBC
News polling dating back to 1990. Just 7% say those views are “very” positive.
“With these numbers, the Democratic Party is not in need of a rebrand.
It needs to be rebooted,” said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who conducted the survey along with GOP pollster
Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies.
The slump is partially driven by fed-up Democrats, according to the
polling data, after they watched their party lose to Trump in 2024. And
now, in a reversal from Trump’s first term, self-identified Democratic
voters say they want their party to hold the line on their positions
even if it leads to gridlock, rather than focus on finding areas of
compromise with the president.
The poll illustrates the angst within the party driving backlash against
the Senate Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer,
who sided with Republicans on a Friday procedural vote to advance a GOP-designed spending bill and avert a government shutdown.
“When Donald Trump wakes up in the morning and says, ‘You’re doing the right things, Senate Democrats’ — we don’t feel that is the right place to be,” Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., the House Democratic Caucus chair,
said Friday.
Back in April 2017, 59% of Democrats said they wanted congressional
Democrats to make compromises with Trump to gain consensus on
legislation, with 33% saying they should stick to their positions even
if that means not being able to get things done in Washington.
Now, that sentiment has completely flipped. Almost two-thirds of
Democrats, 65%, say they want congressional Democrats to stick to their positions even if that risks sacrificing bipartisan progress, and just
32% want them to make legislative compromises with Trump.
