The popularity of the Republican Party has fallen to the lowest level in two years, a new poll has suggested.
The president's disapproval rating has stayed consistent since July, according to one pollster.

@#8 ... Meanwhile Democrats approval ratings are in the 20s ...
Yup, the Democrat voters' opinion of Democrat politicians in office is currently low. But not for the reason you state in your comment.
The Democrat voters want their politicians to put up more of a fight against Pres Trump's war upon our democracy.
That may be why ...

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? ;)
