Poll shows Democrats' own base remains tepid about the party
TL;DR
AP-NORC polling finds about 70% of rank-and-file Democrats view the Democratic Party positively, a level not as high as in the past and not fully recovered since Trump’s 2024 victory. The mood inside the party is subdued even as Democrats notch some wins in special elections, with lingering concerns about the economy and heated debates over policy, including health care where they still hold an edge.
