Polls show the decline of the Dems
...
The numbers paint a grim picture. The national survey, conducted March 26-27 with 2,746 registered voters, found that 63% of respondents view the Democratic Party unfavorably. That’s not a blip; it’s a landslide of rejection. With a margin of error of just +/- 1.9 percentage points, the data is clear: Americans are fed up. Sure, the party’s approval ticked up a measly point from February’s poll, but it’s still a staggering 10 points below where it stood in October. Meanwhile, disapproval has climbed, hitting 63% last month—10 points worse than it was before the election.
For years, Democrats have chased the applause of coastal elites and socialist firebrands like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, while turning their backs on the working-class voters who once formed their backbone. The poll lays bare the consequences of that betrayal. When asked if they’d like moderate Democrats to work with the Trump administration to find common ground, 55% of respondents said yes. But only 27% of Democrats agreed. Instead, a whopping 73% of them cheered on Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders to “fight harder against President Donald Trump’s agenda.” This isn’t leadership—it’s a tantrum, and it’s driving the party off a cliff.
The disconnect gets even uglier. While 61% of all respondents said they’re willing to give Trump a chance to prove himself, 69% of Democrats insisted on opposing everything he does, no matter what. And when it comes to reining in government spending—a priority for 61% of voters—63% of Democrats said no, clinging to their big-government dogma even as Americans demand accountability for waste. It’s as if they’ve forgotten who they’re supposed to serve.
The warning signs are flashing red, yet Democrats refuse to course-correct. A commanding 71% of respondents—including 57% of Democrats, 77% of Republicans, and 77% of independents—said the party desperately needs new, moderate leaders to steer it back to sanity. But nearly half of Democrats, 46%, still think extremists like Ocasio-Cortez are the future. This isn’t a vision; it’s a fantasy, and it’s alienating everyone outside their echo chamber.
If that’s not bad enough, other recent surveys show the rot runs even deeper. An NBC News poll from March 16 found just 27% of voters view the Democratic Party positively, with 55% seeing it negatively. Even 20% of Democrats admitted they’re disillusioned with their own party. A CNN poll from the same day, conducted by SSRS, pegged the party’s favorability at a dismal 29%, with 52% of Democrat-aligned adults saying the leadership is dragging them down the wrong path. Only 48% thought the party was on the right track—a razor-thin margin for a group that’s supposed to be united.

It should be obvious that there are no deficit hawks in the upper ranks of the Democrats. The party is also turning on moderate leaders. I think Jimmy Carter was probably the last Democrat I voted for, and there does not appear to be any moderates in the upper ranks of the party now.
While Trump can come across as a brutally frank New Yorker, it should be clear that he was clearly better than Biden in controlling spending and in avoiding foreign wars. While I was born in Alabama and raised in Texas, I have always gotten along with New Yorkers and worked with them in my legal practice and as a securities lawyer.
