Even as the MAGA movement eats its own tail in response to Donald Trump and his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, Democrats are netting record-low approval ratings. According to a Wednesday poll released by Quinnipiac University, approval of congressional Democrats is down to a historic low of just 19 percent. Seventy-two percent of those polled said they outright disapproved, while 10 percent didn't give an opinion. "This is a record low since March 2009 when the Quinnipiac University Poll first began asking this question of registered voters," the university wrote.
Even among registered Democrats, approval for the minority party is underwater: "39 percent approve of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 52 percent disapprove and nine percent did not offer an opinion," the poll found. This is compared to 77 percent of registered Republicans who approve of the way their party is performing in Congress.
... Democrats in Congress ...
Nothing really new here.
I've been seeing the Democrats in Congress having a low (very low) approval for months now.
Likely because Democrat voters have been saying they want a new generation of Democrats in Congress.
For comparison...
