Democrats in Congress receive lowest approval rating in Quinnipiac poll history

[Karah Rucker]

A NEW QUINNIPIAC POLL SUGGESTS AMERICAN’S APPROVAL OF DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS – IS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW – WHILE REPUBLICANS APPROVAL IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH.

AND A NEW SURVEY-USA POLL SUGGESTS DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS ARE LOSING SUPPORT FROM THEIR OWN PARTY.

LET’S BREAK DOWN THE POLLS WE’RE REFERRING TO.

ACCORDING TO A QUINNIPIAC POLL OF 1,039 REGISTERED VOTERS –

21 PERCENT OF OVERALL VOTERS APPROVE OF HOW DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ARE HANDLING THEIR JOB. 

THAT’S AN ALL-TIME LOW IN THIS POLLING’S HISTORY DATING BACK TO 2009.

68 PERCENT OF OVERALL VOTERS DISAPPROVED.

BROKEN DOWN BY PARTY – 

40 PERCENT OF REGISTERED DEMOCRATS APPROVE OF THEIR LAWMAKERS’ PERFORMANCE –

COMPARED TO 49 PERCENT DISAPPROVING.

ACCORDING TO SURVEYUSA – WHO SPOKE WITH 1,705 REGISTERED VOTERS –

22 PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS SAY THEIR ELECTED MEMBERS ARE “STANDING UP TO TRUMP THE RIGHT AMOUNT”.

60 PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS SAY – THEY’RE NOT DOING ENOUGH.

VOTER SENTIMENT IN THE QUINNIPIAC POLL LOOKED A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE.

THE POLL FOUND 40% OF OVERALL VOTERS APPROVE OF REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS – WHICH IS A RECORD HIGH.

52 PERCENT OF OVERALL VOTERS DISAPPROVED.  

BROKEN DOWN BY PARTY –

79 PERCENT OF REGISTERED REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF THEIR LAWMAKERS’ PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO 10 PERCENT DISAPPROVING.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS IN BOTH THE SENATE AND HOUSE HAVE RESPONDED TO RECENT CRITICISM COMING FROM WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY –

WITH SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SHUMER URGING DEMOCRATS TO BE PATIENT – TELLING SEMAFOR QUOTE – “TRUMP WILL SCREW UP.”

AND HOUSE MINORITY LEADER HAKEEM JEFFRIES SAYING THEIR IS LITTLE “LEVERAGE” AS THE HOUSE, SENATE AND WHITE HOUSE BELONG TO REPUBLICANS –

BUT SAYS THEY ARE CAPABLE OF LEGALLY CHALLENGING TRUMP POLICIES –

WITH MORE THAN 65 LAWSUITS FILED OVER EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

ANOTHER POLL WORTH MENTIONING IN THIS STORY OVER PARTY SENTIMENT.

A GALLUP POLL OUT THIS MONTH INDICATES MORE DEMOCRATS WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEIR PARTY TAKE A MORE MODERATE SHIFT.

45% WANT THE PARTY TO BE MORE MODERATE.

29% WANT THE PARTY TO BE MORE LIBERAL.

22 PERCENT WANT IT TO “STAY THE SAME.”

WHEN YOU COMPARE THIS TO VOTER SENTIMENT FROM 2021 –

34 PERCENT OF VOTERS WANTED THE PARTY TO BE MORE MODERATE.

SO THE NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS WANTING TO TAKE A MORE MODERATE APPROACH – INCREASED BY 11 POINTS.
