CNN Poll: Democratic Party’s favorability at record low

The Democratic Party's favorability rating among Americans stands at a record low, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, fueled in part by dimming views from its own frustrated supporters. With many in the party saying publicly that their leaders should do more to stand up to President Donald Trump, Democrats and Democratic-aligned independents say, 57% to 42%, that Democrats should mainly work to stop the Republican agenda, rather than working with the GOP majority to get some Democratic ideas into legislation. The survey was taken March 6-9, days before 10 Democratic senators " including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer " voted with Republicans in the chamber to advance a GOP-authored spending bill to avert a government shutdown, much to the chagrin of many other Democratic lawmakers and progressive critics.

The majority's desire to fight the GOP marks a significant change in the party's posture from the start of Trump's first term. A September 2017 poll found a broad 74% majority of Democrats and Democratic leaners saying their party should work with Republicans in an attempt to advance their own priorities, and just 23% advocating for a more combative approach.

"Democrats and Democratic-aligned independents say, 57% to 42%, that Democrats should mainly work to stop the Republican agenda..."

As do a lot of people who voted for Trump.... like the ones who are paying more, losing money and jobs, and watching as their kids and parents lose services.... so that billionaires can have more tax cuts.

At least we know now what side the Cultists are on. Whatever side Dear Leader tells them to be on.

In this case, the Dark Side.

If CNN said it, it's worse than they're leading on.

Dems are powerless.

For instance, if they had not helped pass the spending bill, Trump would have used it as the basis to be even more draconian with government cuts. Maybe even lay the groundwork to cancel midterms in two years.

There's no limit to what norms Trump will violate because the GOP is too afraid to stop him.

Chickens have come home to roost for all those Dems/libs who decided to stay at home/vote Green during elections in November.

Go ahead and say the quiet part out loud. They're in this predicament because of the garbage agenda they decided to heap on average Americans. I would like to believe the Democrats "misread" Americans, but that isn't the case. They tried to shove that agenda on people - the real reason they are in the twenty percentile range of popularity.
