The Democratic Party’s image has eroded to its lowest point in more than three decades, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll, with voters seeing Republicans as better at handling most issues that decide elections.
The new survey finds that 63% of voters hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party—the highest share in Journal polls dating to 1990 and 30 percentage points higher than the 33% who hold a favorable view.

So both sides are seeing the lowest approval ratings right now… when are we going to realize that our government no longer has our best interest at heart? When are we going to realize that our government is in a failed state? I am so tired of being around clowns that act like everything is ok. It’s not and hasn’t been for a long time. R E V O L U T I O N is imminent!!!
Who? You mean that whiny party who are watching democracy fade away? Sounds like we need another strongly worded letter.

I don't see how holding one party disfavorably means you hold the other favorably. They are both dog shit and both don't know how to handle any issues that matter
- They hold Donald Trump low…. Democrats even lower…
  Blue no matter who is a stupid phrase, and an even dumber idea
Is this going to be a thing? Okay, the poll is some Democratic guy and “Trump’s pollster”, whatever that means, and they called 1,500 people on landlines and mobile phones and these results are the people that answered and gave a number to insightful questions like “how favorably do you view the Democrats? How favorably do you view the republicans?”
Do you answer your phone for unknown callers?
“The Democratic brand is so bad that they don’t have the credibility to be a critic of Trump or the Republican Party,” said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who worked on the Journal survey with Republican Tony Fabrizio.
- The Democrats' stated strategy, after putting their heads together and trying to figure out how they got trounced on the last election - is to go more hardcore "center" than they previously have.
  It's basically impossible to tell at this point if they're the most clownishly out of touch group of people imaginable, or actively complicit and just waiting for the pendulum to swing slightly back so they can be "successful" again, for a bit. Certainly a mix, but -
  The only reason I lend credence to the former at all, is just how cartoonishly bad Dems are at almost everything lately. I say lately because throughout my life there have been at least sincere-seeming efforts from (some) Dems to help (some) regular people. Some might argue (with ample justification) that it's always been this way, but the situation does feel distinctly bleak to me today.
- Yeah, this poll sounds sus as hell. Just some crap they whipped up to counter the fact that more reputable polls have been giving Trump pretty shit numbers for months now. So they had to come up with something to shape the narrative the in the other direction.
  
  Democrats numbers are even worse than trumps shit number right now.
crazy how running lame ducks with shiny woke language will do that
- What the fuck do you even mean by shiny woke language?
  
  Meaning that they claim and promise to care about (some) marginalized groups of humans but actually don't give a single fuck and serve the capital-owning class with roughly the same slavering, dogged devotion as the goddamn Republicans?
  
  if you can solve my riddles three I will tell you. the first riddle is just inside your drywall in your bedroom. left from the doorway, two feet over and three feet up. you may need a drywall knife
