Yeah, I agree, Democrat voters may be quite dissatisfied with the Dem politicians current in office (that's an understatement if I ever saw one).

But, looking forward to 2026, the Democrat candidates seem to have an edge. Not a big one, and likely statistically insignificant at this early point in the 2026 political season.

But that edge certainly is better than a sub-20% approval rating, doncha think? ;)

... Just how unpopular is Elon Musk? According to a new poll, the Tesla CEO is literally now the most unpopular person in America. That's according to a new Gallup poll in which Americans were asked to weigh in on 14 prominent news-making figures, both in the U.S. and globally.

In the poll, which was conducted between July 7 and July 21, Pope Leo XIV was ranked as most favorable, with many more Americans viewing him positively as opposed to negatively. The pontiff scored a 57% favorable rating and an 11% unfavorable rating, resulting in a +46 net-favorable score.

Contrast that to Musk, who scored a 33% favorable rating and a 61% unfavorable rating, resulting in a -28 net-favorable score.

...
[Verse 1]
She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall
In a blizzard, she was lost

[Chorus]
She ran calling Wildfire
Calling Wildfire
Calling Wildfire

[Verse 3]
So by the dark of the moon, I planted
But there came an early snow
Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now
'Bout six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go
