The Democratic Party remains rudderless following last November’s election setbacks, when Republicans regained control of both the White House and the Senate, while narrowly holding onto their House majority. Now, a new poll shows confidence in the Democratic Party’s congressional leadership has collapsed, sinking to record lows.
Gallup conducted a new poll in the first half of April, finding that Americans’ confidence in Democratic congressional leadership has plummeted to an abysmal 25%—about nine points below the previous low of 34% recorded in 2023.
“Democratic leadership’s latest 25% confidence rating is an all-time low for the group — well below the previous 34% low recorded in 2023 and the average of 45% since 2001,” Gallup wrote in a report, adding, “Confidence ratings were last at the majority level in 2009 for Democratic congressional leaders and in 2003 for Republican congressional leaders.”
