Poll shock: Democrats’ congressional approval sinks to all-time low

A new national poll is raising alarms for Democrats as the party works to rebound from last year's election setbacks.

Only 18% of voters questioned in a Quinnipiac University survey released on Wednesday said they approve of the way Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 73% percent disapproved.

That's the lowest job approval rating for the Democrats in Congress since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking this question 16 years ago.

The poll, the latest this year to indicate the Democratic Party brand hitting historic lows.

Good job democrats.

I’m not shocked. They don’t get my approval. They’re old, completely out of touch, and in the pocket of capital

@EBSVC Most Americans have negative views of both parties, which is why the Democrats shouldn't be celebrating just because everyone is sick of Trump.

@BohoBabe Exactly

But I have very little optimism over them learning that lesson any time soon

And even if they did it wouldn’t matter

The uniparty is a result of capital and as long as we have that we’re stuck with this

@EBSVC TBH, Zohran Mamdani has given me a lot of hope. Not just because he showed people that leftist Democrats can win, he also made people care again. Nihilism has become the norm in America, so many people feel like nothing they do matters. Mamdani's campaign showed us that we matter, we can beat the establishment.

@BohoBabe I’m still skeptical of him but he is easily the only one I see with a chance to make major change on a highly public level

@EBSVC Maybe he'll break my heart, but I say we give him the benefit of the doubt. We can't become so cynical that we become nihilist, like MAGA. Look where that leads.
