Quinnipiac Poll: Democrats' Favorability Hits Historic Low
A Quinnipiac University national survey released this week finds just 30% of respondents hold a favorable view of the Democratic Party while 54% view it unfavorably — the lowest reading Quinnipiac has recorded since it began asking the question in 2008. The story includes party-level comparisons (Republicans 38% favorable/51% unfavorable), President Trump's approval (38% approve/54% disapprove), and comments from DNC chair Ken Martin acknowledging a 'brand problem.'

"A critical opinion piece arguing Democrats are deluding themselves about the causes of their electoral decline—misreading polls and prioritizing cultural signaling over economic and safety messages—and urging a tactical and strategic realignment, matched to Quinnipiac polling coverage of Democrats' historic low favorability."
"The piece argues that recent polling showing historically poor views of Democrats validates left‑wing critiques of the party’s strategy and messaging, and calls for the party to heed progressive criticisms to regain political footing."
