Yikes! Democrats Hit Lowest Approval EVER

If I didn't think that the Democratic Party was an organized crime operation determined to pillage the country and enslave most people, I would feel sorry for them.

But they are, so I don't feel a bit sorry for them. I am thrilled to see that nearly 8 out of 10 Americans think that Congressional Democrats are worthless putzes, or worse. 

This news comes from Quinnipiac University's latest poll, which is hardly right-leaning to begin with. According to the RealClearPolitics Pollster scorecard, Quinnipiac tends to make fairly large errors that lean toward the Democrats almost all the time. Over the past decade, Quinnipiac leans about 7 points leftward. 

The poll shows the country as divided as ever on most issues, with few people having anything but strong opinions on any issue. Nobody is wishy-washy right now. You love Trump or hate him. You love Elon or you hate him. 

The on thing that seems to unite everybody, though, is that Congressional Democrats suck. 

Twenty-one percent of voters approve of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job, which is an all-time low, while 68 percent of voters disapprove and 11 percent did not offer an opinion. The Quinnipiac University Poll first asked this question of registered voters in March 2009.

In today's poll, 40 percent of Democrats approve of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 49 percent disapprove and 11 percent did not offer an opinion.

Forty percent of voters approve of the way the Republicans in Congress are handling their job, which is a record high, while 52 percent disapprove and 8 percent did not offer an opinion. The Quinnipiac University Poll first asked this question of registered voters in March 2009.

It's not like Quinnipiac has produced a pro-Trump poll, either. Their approval numbers for Trump are lower than most pollsters, showing him underwater on all the major issues and in overall approval. They have Trump underwater on immigration, the economy, foreign affairs, DOGE, and on all his appointments.

But STILL, their sample shows that everybody hates the Democrats even more. 

That's just remarkable. The more you think about it, the more remarkable it is. A left-leaning poll that shows an approval rating spread for Trump almost 7 points lower than the RealClearPolitics average, and the Democrats still come out as the most hated people on the planet. 

Quinnipiac's polling analyst put the results this way:

"It's a sobering slap down of historic proportions for the Democrats in Congress. Their Republican counterparts take a victory lap as the Democrats try to get their footing,"

Could it get any worse for the Democrats?

Yes, yes it can. DOGE is coming for their illicit funding streams, and the outside Democratic Party donors are looking at the current crew in power and thinking they are losers. 

It can get much, much worse for the Democrats. If Trump really does cut off the Democrats from their licit and illicit sources of funding, the party could face a historic collapse.

Of course, don't get cocky. Cornered rats are unpredictable and dangerous, but at least we have them cornered.
