US Democrat ratings drop to all-time low – CNN poll | |
(32 minutes later) | |
A record low number of Americans regard the party favorably, a new CNN poll suggests | |
The Democratic Party’s favorability rating among the American public has hit a record low, a new CNN poll suggests. | |
The poll, commissioned by the broadcaster, was conducted by SSRS from March 6 to 9, sampling the opinions of 1,206 respondents. It suggested that the approval rating of the party stands at just 29% – a record low in regular CNN polling carried out since 1992. The Republican Party fared better, with its rating currently at 36%, according to the poll. | |
Partisan approval differed for the two parties as well, with just 63% of Democrats and Democrat-leaners speaking favorably of their party, while 79% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents approved of the GOP. Independents, however, do not regard either of the parties highly, with favorability hovering around 20%. | |
The Democrats have also struggled to consolidate around a leader that “best reflects the core values,” of the party, according to the poll. New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez topped the list at 10% among Democratic-aligned respondents. | |
Former VP and Democratic presidential runner Kamala Harris received 9%, followed by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders at 8%. Only 1% picked former US President Joe Biden, while over 30% did not pick anyone. | |
The poll has also suggested the Democratic-aligned Americans have taken an increasingly combative approach towards the Republicans, with some 57% stating the party’s lawmakers should focus on stopping the GOP agenda rather than advancing their own ideas. Only 42% said the lawmakers should cooperate with their GOP counterparts. | The poll has also suggested the Democratic-aligned Americans have taken an increasingly combative approach towards the Republicans, with some 57% stating the party’s lawmakers should focus on stopping the GOP agenda rather than advancing their own ideas.

The figures constituted a drastic shift in the sentiment compared to the first tenure of US President Donald Trump – according to a CNN poll conducted in September 2017, some 74% of Democratic respondents said the party should cooperate with the Republicans while only 23% said it should focus on disrupting their agenda. | The figures constituted a drastic shift in the sentiment compared to the first tenure of US President Donald Trump – according to a CNN poll conducted in September 2017, some 74% of Democratic respondents said the party should cooperate with the Republicans while only 23% said it should focus on disrupting their agenda. |
