The Numbers: The favorability of the Democratic Party has dropped to 29%, marking its lowest level in over 30 years of polling. Within the party, only 63% of Democrats now view their own party favorably, a decline from 81% in 2021. Additionally, 57% of Democrats prioritize obstructing the Republican agenda over pursuing bipartisan collaboration.
Why It Matters: The internal discord within the party, with moderates advocating for compromise and progressives pushing for a more robust opposition to Republicans, poses a significant threat to its efficacy in Congress and potential electoral victories in the future.
