A new national poll is the latest to indicate that Democrats are facing major problems with their party’s image.
Just 30% of registered voters in an NBC News poll view the Democratic Party positively, compared to 52% who view it negatively.
The poll, the latest over the past year to indicate the Democratic Party brand, in some cases, hitting historic lows, comes as Democrats aim to escape the political wilderness and win back House and Senate majorities in the 2026 midterm elections.
The GOP, which is working to defend its slim congressional majorities in the 2026 ballot box showdowns amid a rough political climate that doesn’t favor the party in power, doesn’t fare much better in the poll, which was conducted Feb. 27 through March 3.
