Washington D.C.: The Democratic Party has reached an all-time low in popularity, according to a recent NBC News poll. Just 27% of registered voters now hold positive views of the party, the lowest rating since NBC News began tracking this metric in 1990. Only 7% of respondents expressed “very” positive sentiments, signaling a crisis of confidence among voters.

Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who conducted the survey alongside GOP pollster Bill McInturff, described the situation: “With these numbers, the Democratic Party is not in need of a rebrand. It needs to be rebooted.”

The poll reveals a significant shift in Democratic voters’ attitudes. In 2017, 59% of Democrats favored compromise with Trump to achieve legislative progress, while 33% preferred holding firm on their positions. Today, that sentiment has flipped: 65% of Democrats want their leaders to stand their ground, even if it leads to gridlock, while only 32% support compromise.

More than half of those polled believe Trump is handling border security well, despite a slew of court orders going against him.

This shift is evident in recent debates over government funding. Senate Democrats, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, faced backlash for supporting a GOP-authored spending Continuing Resolution to avert a government shutdown. Many Democratic voters and lawmakers saw this as capitulation. Representative Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) criticized the move, stating, “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.”

Only 20% of those polled believe Trump is mishandling the War in Gaza.

The poll also highlights broader challenges for the party. A majority of voters (55%) now hold negative views of the Democratic Party, including 38% who feel “very” negatively. Independent voters, a critical bloc, are particularly disenchanted, with just 11% expressing positive views. Even within the Democratic base, nearly 20% of voters view the party negatively, a troubling sign for its cohesion.

Despite these challenges, Democrats retain a slight edge in voter preferences for control of Congress, with 48% favoring a Democratic majority compared to 47% for Republicans. However, history suggests the party in power typically loses seats in midterm elections, adding pressure as Democrats navigate the Trump era.
