It’s official—the Democratic Party is in free fall, and even their own voters are fed up. The latest NBC News survey delivers a brutal reality check for the left: just 27% of Americans have a positive view of the Democratic Party, the lowest number in over three decades. And for a party that loves to scream about being on the “right side of history,” it turns out history is leaving them in the dust.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s numbers are surging, with 44% of Americans now saying the country is “headed in the right direction.” That’s the highest number since 2004, back when George W. Bush was running for re-election. Translation? Americans like what they’re seeing from Trump’s leadership, and they’re rejecting the Democrats’ nonstop hysteria. The left spent years warning that Trump’s return would bring chaos, yet here we are—stability is up, confidence in the country is climbing, and the Democrats are imploding.
NBC: In November, just 27% of Americans said the country was headed in the right direction. Now that number is at 44% (!!):
“The last time it cracked 40%, you gotta go back to 2012. The last time it actually hit 44% or higher, January 2004.”

The numbers don’t lie. A stunning 55% of voters now have a negative view of the Democratic Party, including 38% who say their opinion is very negative. And before Democrats try to spin this as just Republican backlash, let’s be clear: it’s their own base that’s turning on them. Nearly 20% of Democrats have soured on their own party, and even left-leaning independents are bailing. The so-called “blue wall” is crumbling, and it’s not because of Republican attacks—it’s because of Democratic incompetence.

But instead of reassessing their approach, the Democrats are doing what they do best: doubling down on failure. The survey found that 65% of Democratic voters want their leaders to fight Trump at all costs, even if it means total gridlock. Gone are the days of working across the aisle—this new Democratic Party would rather burn everything down than admit Trump is getting results. Back in 2017, 59% of Democrats wanted their party to work with Republicans to achieve something. Now? That number has dropped to 32%. They’d rather tank the country than see Trump succeed.
HOLY MACRO!

And the dysfunction isn’t just among voters—it’s tearing apart Democratic leadership. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faced massive backlash from his own party for daring to prevent a government shutdown by supporting a GOP-backed spending bill. That’s right—keeping the government open was apparently an act of betrayal. Rep. Pete Aguilar even complained that Democrats shouldn’t be doing anything that makes Trump happy. It’s pure resistance politics at this point. There’s no strategy, no vision—just “oppose Trump” at all costs. And Americans are watching this circus and walking away in droves.
The party is leaderless, rudderless, and spiraling into chaos. When Democratic voters were asked who best represents their values, the top answer wasn’t Biden, Harris, or Schumer—it was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. That’s right, the loudest socialist in Congress is now the face of the Democratic Party. And even then, she barely cracked 10% support, with over 30% of respondents admitting they couldn’t name a single leader. If that’s not a sign of a party in crisis, what is?
Meanwhile, the GOP isn’t just sitting pretty with Trump back in the White House—they own the Senate and the House, meaning they actually run the country while Democrats flail around, trying to figure out if they want to be more socialist or just more obstructionist. The left is stuck in a political identity crisis, torn between the radicals who want total resistance and the moderates who see the writing on the wall but are too afraid to say anything.
At this point, the Democratic Party isn’t just in need of a rebrand—it needs a lifeline. Their approval is tanking, their voters are angry, their leadership is weak, and their strategy is nonexistent. If this is the direction they want to take heading into 2026, Republicans will happily watch them lose again.
