In terms of both popular approval and general depravity of thought, modern Democrats have reached new depths.
Thus, President Donald Trump would do well to take a page from one of his illustrious 19th-century predecessors.
According to a Gallup poll published on Thursday, public confidence in congressional Democrats — the party now led by the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, as well as lesser known yet equally radical figures such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas — has plummeted to a historic low of 25 percent.
For comparison’s sake, the prominent pollster had Democrats’ confidence rating at 34 percent as recently as 2023.
Likewise, shortly after now-former President Joe Biden took office in 2021, that rating stood at 49 percent.
