New polling shows the Democratic Party's favorability hitting historic lows, with only 28% of Americans viewing Democrats positively ahead of midterms.  28% 

About 100% of the people I know will all agree that nearly 100% of the Politicians will rip you off about 99% of the time.  I like the Raskin's (what the **** happened to his eye this week?) and the Liz Cheney's.  Almost all of them suck from my perspective.  Democrats are willing to admit they can't get no rolling stones satisfaction. MAGA just cries in their beer.. If they can afford one. I'm a Double Hater
Did CNN have Republican approval numbers?  
Again, young people don't do polls. They have no reason to ant to talk to Potential Spam..  He is bigger than Gerry Mandering.

New polling shows the Democratic Party's favorability hitting historic lows, with only 28% of Americans viewing Democrats positively ahead of midterms

Recent national polling confirms that the Democratic Party's favorability has dropped to a historic low of 28%, according to a CNN poll released in April 2026. This rating is the lowest for the party in CNN's tracking history dating back to 1992. 
NBC News: Recorded an even lower favorability of 27% in March 2026, the lowest in their records dating back to 1990.
Wall Street Journal: Found the party's image at its lowest in over 30 years, with only 33% favorable and a record-high 63% unfavorable rating.
Marist Poll: Showed only 29% of Americans have confidence in the Democratic Party. 
Context and Midterm Impact
Despite these low popularity numbers, Democrats currently hold a lead in generic congressional ballot polling as the 2026 midterms approach: 
Generic Ballot Advantage: Multiple polls, including Emerson College and Morning Consult, show Democrats leading Republicans by 3 to 6 points.
Negative Partisanship: Analysts suggest this lead is driven largely by "double haters"—voters who dislike both parties but favor Democrats by a significant margin as a message against President Trump.
Voter Motivation: Democratic-aligned voters report higher levels of motivation, with 72% saying they are extremely motivated to vote compared to lower enthusiasm on the Republican side.The Republican Party's favorability rating is currently averaging 37.7%, according to the latest national polling from RealClearPolitics as of late April 2026. While this is nearly 10 points higher than the Democratic Party's historic low of 28%, the GOP's image remains deeply negative overall. 
Surveys from April 2026 highlight a consistent gap between the two major parties: 
CNN/SSRS: Places Republican favorability at 32%, slightly higher than the Democratic Party's 28%.
CNBC: Finds 35% of Americans have a positive view of Republicans compared to 52% with a negative view.
Fox News/Beacon Research: Shows the GOP with a 42% favorable rating, though 58% still view the party unfavorably.
Economist/YouGov: Reports a 41% favorable rating for the party generally, while Republicans in Congress specifically hold a 39% favorability.

The GOP's higher favorability compared to Democrats is largely driven by stronger internal party loyalty:
Internal Support: Approximately 76% to 87% of Republicans view their own party favorably. In contrast, Democratic support for their own party has softened significantly.
Independent Voters: Despite their lead over Democrats, Republicans still struggle with independents, with only 28% viewing the GOP favorably in Gallup and Pew Research trackers.
"Double Haters": Roughly 25% of the public now expresses unfavorable opinions of both political parties, a historically high level of dual dissatisfaction.
