CNN survey: The favorability of the Democratic Party falls on a record

According to a new CNN survey carried out by SSRS, the evaluation of the Democratic Party among the Americans is involved in a record low, which is partly powered by the selection of their own frustrated supporters.

Since many in the party publicly said that their leaders should do more to constant President Donald Trump, say democrats and democratically oriented independent that the Democrats should mainly work to stop the Republican agenda instead of working with the GOP majority in order to bring some democratic ideas into legization.

The survey was carried out from March 6th to 9th, days before 10 democratic Senator-Darunter The Senate President Chuck Schumer-voted with Republicans in the Chamber to advance a GOP authores expenditure law to avert state closure.

The desire of the majority to fight the GOP marks a significant change in the attitude of the party at the beginning of Trump's first term. A survey in September 2017 showed that a large majority of the Democrats and Democratic Leaners should work together with 74% of Republicans to promote their own priorities, and only 23% for a combative approach.

With democratically oriented adults, 52% to 48% say that the management of the Democratic Party is currently in the wrong direction. This is a further shift of eight years ago when the views on this metric were largely positive.

Overall, the overall American public is the evaluation of the Democratic Party only 29% – a record low in CNN from 1992 and a decline of 20 points since January 2021, when Trump left his first term under the shadow of the attack on January 6th. The Rating of the Republican Party is currently 36%.

This is partly driven to relatively high dissatisfaction within the Democratic Party. Only 63% of the Democrats and Democratic Independents state a favorable view of their own party, a break -in of 72% in January and 81% at the beginning of President Joe Biden. The decline encounters ideological wings, with the evaluation of the evaluation of the Democratic Party since the early 2021 under liberals and moderations, alike decrease by 18 points.

In contrast, 79% of Republicans and Republican Leaners currently represent a positive overview of the GOP. Political independent as a group represent difficult views of both parties, with the Democrats evaluating the Democrats positively and 20% of Republicans are equally valid.

Both the democratic and the Republican parties are viewed by about half of the public as views and guidelines that are too extreme and not in general mainstream. This is a change compared to 2022, when most Americans – 56% – described the positions of the Democratic Party as mainstream. The views of the GOP have remained effectively unchanged during this time.

Political independent probably remain the Republicans than from the mainstream – 57% call the GOP too extreme, while 48% say the same of the Democrats. But 16% of Democrats call their own party too extreme, while only 9% of Republicans say the same thing about the GOP.

The public continues to apply between Trump and his party. The Americans are probably 9 points to describe the president too extremely to say the same for the Republican party as a whole, although this is due to an 18-point gap in 2022.

Democrats, which Trump consider mostly as extreme, still have to consolidate a one -party leader in order to serve as a counterpoint. In an open question to name the democratic leader, they believe that “best reflects the basic values ​​of the party”. Another 4% former President Barack Obama and Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, with Schumer connecting a handful of others with 2%.

More than 30% did not offer a name as an answer. “Nobody,” replied a respondent. “That is the problem.”

Elissa Slotkin, Senator of Michigan, who held the party's reaction to Trump's presidential speech this month, is still largely unknown. A separate question arises that almost three quarters of the Americans have never heard of her or have no opinion of her, the rest of her opinion is roughly divided. Slotkin is hardly known in her own party, although democratically oriented adults who express a view of them are largely positive, 24% cheap for 6%.

Ocasio Cortez 'share in the party is particularly high among those who describe themselves as liberal and younger than 45, with about 1 to 6 within each of these groups they are classified for the values ​​of the party. No democratic leader asked in two digits in older adults or moderated with this metric.

The views of the democratically oriented adults about their party and their leadership also share strongly from a demographic point of view, according to the survey. Those who call themselves Democrats are far much probability as independent people who apply to the party to express favorable views of the Democrats (72% to 37%), and to say that the leaders of the party take it in the right direction (53% up to 34%).

And while the party leadership in most democratically oriented women (57% of them specify that they bring the democrats in the right direction) are positive reviews, people with color (57%) and people without university degrees (60%), only 38% of men and 32% of the White College graduates.

In contrast, the majorities beyond demographic borders want to work the Democrats to stop the Republican agenda, with little daylight between the views of those who describe themselves as democrats and those of the independent people who support the party to the party. The only remaining democratically oriented group in favor of compromises are moderate: they say 51% to 48% that the Democrats should mainly try to work with Republicans.

The CNN survey was carried out by SSRS from March 6th to 9th under a random national sample of 1,206 US-growing people, which were drawn from a probability body. Surveys were carried out either online or by phone with a live interviewer. The results for all adults have a scanning error of ± 3.3 percentage points. The results among the 504 Democrats or Democratic-ADDALISTIONS have a marking level of ± 5.0 percentage points.
