Democratic voters want their party to hold the reins of the House but are not the least bit happy about what they are doing at the moment," said in a statement.“Democrats, in the minds of the American public, are lower than the Dead Sea,” According to new Quinnipiac polling data, congressional Democrats are languishing at a net approval rating of -55 points, an almost comical nosedive that marks their worst showing in over twenty years of tracking. “They have never found Democrats, at least those in Congress, in worse shape than they are right now.” The fallout is already reaching individual lawmakers. Translation: victory might come, but not without casualties. “Yes, you’re on your way to a congressional majority… but it’s still a long time,” he cautioned.“And with numbers like this, considerably weaker than historically speaking, it might be a tougher road to hoe than normally you would think.” The data paints an unflattering portrait: a party so strategically dependent on Donald Trump’s unpopularity that it’s ignoring its own. Democrats appear to be counting on Trump’s toxicity to do the heavy lifting , but if their own negatives stay this high, his may not be enough to carry them over the finish line in next year’s midterm elections.
