It’s official. Getting both legs amputated is now more popular than Democrats are and jock itch is closing in quickly. Seriously. What is there to love about the Democrats? Sure, if you are a terrorist, murderer, rapist or child molester, you could answer that question, but they are a small minority.
NewsNation political contributor Chris Cillizza said Thursday that fresh polling data paints a dire picture for the Democratic Party. The latest poll shows that only about a third of Democratic voters are either “very optimistic” or “somewhat optimistic” about their party, compared with 55% of Republicans. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it will get worse for Democrats as the economy will soar by next summer. Who am I kidding? I rather enjoyed sharing that news. I truly believe that will motivate more voters than fighting to bring illegal alien criminals back to this country.
Chris Cillizza said:
“The extent to which Democrats, Democrats think the Democratic brand is broken is pretty stunning to me, and we have a bunch of new polling data out lately that I want to go through that kind of explains where the Democratic Party is … the Democratic Party is in worse shape today, both in terms of how it’s viewed by the general electorate but also how Democrats feel about it, than at any time that I can remember in my covering of politics, which is now — because I’m old — almost three decades.”
“Maybe you get a little of the excitement of switching from Biden to Harris in those numbers. But six in ten Democrats, even in that moment — which was chaotic at a minimum — even in that moment said they were somewhat or very optimistic about the future of the party. Today it is one in three.”

So: liberal, weak, corrupt for the general electorate, and weak and ineffective for the just-Democratic sample. I find that — I guess not surprising, because we’ve had the Democratic brand in a place since Donald Trump won in 2024 that I’ve not seen before. In worse shape in terms of how people view it than I’ve ever seen before. I’ve talked to pollsters who said they’ve sat in focus groups, and the words that keep coming up are ‘weak’ and ‘woke.’ So that ‘weak’ word keeps coming up.”
“And I think that is sort of a big problem for the Democratic Party. You can’t be viewed as weak. You know, Donald Trump’s great strength — even for people who don’t agree with him — is he’s viewed as a fighter and tough. Now, we can debate whether he is a fighter and tough, but that’s how he’s viewed. And Democrats right now — even among themselves — see themselves as weak and ineffective. And I just think that’s incredibly telling and problematic for a party … these numbers and those words, even for me, who kind of knew that the Democratic brand was not in good shape, were pretty, pretty shocking.”
